A total noob's guide to kobo dev?

Hello,
Does a total noob's guide (covering setting up a toolchain, what libraries are available, how to write kobo-compatible makefiles and things etc) for kobo development on a linux host exist?
I'm familiar with software development and familiar with C++ although getting a language like go or rust running would be nice.

Sorry for the newbie question, I'm struggling to find resources for getting started.
