Cryptography for Dummies might be a good place to start, though it is quite old (2004). You might find a used copy for cheap.

NoStarch Press has a couple of books worth checking out:

Check out Cybrary's free courses:

You might also find a good inexpensive course on Udemy. Probably some good stuff on YouTube as well.
