Can anyone direct me to the required reading for developing Coin Mining Software from Scratch? [thnx in advance]

I would like to go about the process of writing my own miner.
It does not need to be particularly efficient, I'm not expecting to profit personally, learning and supporting decentralization of a given blockchain are reward enough.

I understand that <x> hashing algorithm might work for <y> and <z> coins; but may not work for <k> coin which uses <j> algorithm instead.
My attempts at finding guides on how to develop a bitcoin, or any other altcoin, miner have resulted in primarily spam about which hardware to buy and to just go download existing coin mining software.
If I am going to be directed to an existing project anyway: I would prefer staring at the most bare bones, working, and open-source miner available.

How much would that cost to launch a new mineable coin with Bitcoin Cash characteristics?

I would like to spread the word in Greece about Blockchain technology, about how mining works and all differences of Bitcoin with Bank money. I think many people are afraid of Bitcoin because of high price, and because they are misinformed, still are not ready to buy Bitcoin or crypto. It is though hard to mine large cap cryptocurrencies. That's why I would like to introduce something new and with no value, so people could use it themselves without having to spend much money. I would like to name it after an old Greek currency Drachma, e-Drachma, and because I believe Bitcoin Cash has got the best characteristics, I think it is better to use its code to launch something new from Genesis Block. I have very little programming skills, that's why I am asking about it.
