A while ago I would have recommended you get The Art of Electronics, and The Student Manual for this, and then some cheap tools and components, and then just work your way through the student manual doing all the experiments and then reading the main book to learn the theory.
That's still a good choice, but you'll notice it's getting a bit outdated.

For learning the hobbyist end and some skills and techniques I recommend this guy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh8JiW2G9yR2v7TwUm04m_g
He has some tutorials for simple surface mount soldering, and some useful reviews of equipment. He uses mostly correct soldering techniques too.
