Sidebar Nav Theme

Thank you in advance for your time.  I recently installed 7.3.4 CE for a POC to upgrade from 6.2 CE and am facing some challenges setting up a custom theme with sidebar navigation.  I have followed many tutorials on the Liferay Help Center and have found them very helpful for setup and deployment.  I was curious if:

1.  There is any recommended training sites (preferably free, but could budget training costs if proficiency obtained) or general tutorials that would help us to better understand the latest features of Liferay 7 and any possible best practices.  For example, editing the freemarker files versus creating Menu items through the admin console versus Themelets versus ...

2.  Is there any recommended sites for setting up sidebar navigation specifically?  I have been studying https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029147711-Theme-Generator, but find that I am still needing further help.

It seems the Liferay Help pages assume I have more exposure than I do in developing in 7.3.  I am well aware that much progress has been made since 6.2 and am trying to find the best approach to making the most of the latest features. 

Thank you again for any direction,
