I am planning to start out with Magento 2. Could you please advise me on the first steps of transition from Magento 1 to Magento 2? I have quite little experience with Magento 1 development, but judging by M2 code, everything seems to be drastically changed. Can you suggest me to study any trusted, relevant resources?

Also, I would like to know how the basic principles have been changed, I mean: catalog, products, quotes, carts. If someone can share the experience of migrating from M1 to M2 ( the popular issues and their solutions) it will be very useful and I will be highly grateful.

P.S. I have already installed M2 and it has not caused any issues. I am highly interested in the extensions development and customizations.

In addition to what Steve Johnson has written, I would add the following source..

First and foremost, I recommend you to read this eBook, it's like the Bible for all beginning Magento 2 developers:

Also, check these best Magento 2 blogs - here you'll learn about some aspects of Magento 2 development, that the official Magento documentation doesn't mention:

Also, you can find some useful info on Magento 2 in the official Magento blog:
