I should recommand some board

This raises another question: Are you looking at the level Jerome is suggesting - Cortex-A, running linux, etc - or are you looking more at the Cortex-M microcontroller end ?

you are true, that depends on the expected goal

I would go with Cortex-M microcontroller.

Start here: https://www2.keil.com/mdk5/learn

See also: https://www.keil.com/books/

Joseph Yiu's Definitive Guide books are an excellent starting point for Cortex-M

If you have no prior C or (C++) programming experience, you would be a lot better off to start by learning the language itself on a PC - away from all the added complications & restrictions of embedded microcontrollers.

Here are some 'C' learning & reference materials:

With embedded microcontrollers, you will be working close to the hardware - so a working understanding of electronics is also necessary; eg, see: https://electronicsclub.info/

Thanks Andy for mentioning my books.  :-)

For SoC design, we also have a book on Cortex-M SoC design available here:

You're welcome! :-)

I guess the SoC book is for people who are already competent chip designers?
