Manuals written for MkIV still apply to LMTX, even if there are sometimes better alternatives to some constructs.
I don’t think plain TeX literature like Knuth’s TeXbook or Eikhout’s TeX by topic makes sense for a beginner, depending on what you want to do.
Well, but one gets the idea by looking at it.
It makes no sense to try to learn ConTeXt on the dry; choose a project and overcome its problems one after the other. If you don’t have an application for TeX, you don’t need to learn it. What do you want to achieve?
https://github.com/contextgarden/not-so-short-introduction-to-context and Hrabans upcoming book (finished when we stop adding functionality) There is also Mikaels stepwise tutorial.
