There is quite a few great comments in this thread but I just want to add that getting a quality lens has a much bigger impact on your image quality than the camera body. A quality body with a bad lens is a waste of time.
Different eco systems have a varied number of lenses at each price point, for example you will be able to pick up an old but great canon lens cheap enough but if you go with Sony you will be spending much more to get a quality lens as their eco system is much younger. (I'm a Sony user btw)
Regards resources there is hundreds of Youtube videos for learning but be careful about getting caught up in the gear hype. I like Thomas Heaton [1]
Think about how you will be displaying the images, if you are just sharing to Instagram then you don't need a >16mp sensor.
No one can really tell you what exactly to do, it's bit of a journey to find out how you enjoy taking photos but it's a great hobby!
