My 2 cents worth---remember Sturgeon's “Ninety percent of everything is crud.” Derived from a quote by science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon. This applies to much of your quoted list. This leaves design patterns. My short course on that starts with “The Timeless Way of Building” then follow up with a current edtion of “Design Patterns” If you are wondering about why start with an obscure architectural design book---well it's where the current notion of 'patterns' started...
