Re:PID Without a PhD (2016) [pdf] by tnecniv on Tuesday January 30, 2018 @12:16PM (#16266977)
Google for a class in (classical) control theory. This is a standard topic for electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering programs.

For implementing a PID loop, you can do it in pretty much any language you want -- it's relatively straightforward once you know the math. You can even do it in hardware via an analog circuit if you desire. However MATLAB / Simulink are commonly used when experimenting with system parameters due to the presence of straightforward plotting tools and numerical ODE solvers.
