Hi all,
I am just wondering for someone who is really curious about the technical details such as the coding and barebones of cryptocurrencies, what kind of books/resources are good to refer to?

I recommend this book for you

This book is suitable for those who want to learn about blockchain programming, also how to create a private key and others written by Nicolas Dorier
Goodluck

Thanks for the replies so far everyone, been looking at online courses so far and I am keen to get stuck in. I have been meaning to pick up coding and Python 3.5 is my choice, what IDE would people recommend for this?

With Python I can recommend both Pycharm and sublime text, both can be used fully for free

As already mentioned, there are free massive online open courses from edx.org or coursera.org you could use to learn.
A much better free resource in my opinion is the ebook Mastering Bitcoin from Andreas M. Antonopoulos. It covers theoretical and technical topics about Bitcoins and blockchain. It is available on Github https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

Online courses are great for sure, I do prefer edX over coursera just as its cheaper in general

I would suggest perhaps taking an online course (edX, coursera etc.) on cryptography to give u a bit of background, now sure what kind of programming experience you have but I would suggest C++ as something to pick up, might be difficult for a first time coder though...

I recently bought a book called mastering bitcoin published by O'Reilly; I have their series of books for Python Programming and they are really good.

Just writing some code

Bitcoin.org has a lot of good technical resources under their developer documentation page.

You can also read the source code of whatever coin you are interested in.
