One fun (if not particularly practical) path is to learn the Atari 2600 video game platform.
Documentation is readily available, along with source code to a number of classic games. There are several emulators and even a small community of people turning out new games for the platform.
The 2600 was/is quirky, and of course it's ancient history, but it does provide a path to learning some basics that still apply today. Most importantly, it's fun.
