Well I'm just going to give you my point of view based on my experience.
I've worked with Magento 1 for 5 years before starting developing on Magento 2.
To me, Magento 2 would be definitely slightly easier to learn if you have a bit of knowledge with Magento 1.
However, Magento 2 introduces a lot of new concepts that were not present in Magento 1 and that I found a little bit disturbing at first sight because I was not used to them.
My advice would still be to learn Magento 2 without learning Magento 1 as your mind won't be disturbed by Magento 1 concepts.
Regarding good learning materials I highly recommend the Magento U Fundamentals course that I took myself and helped me a lot understanding the software.
On top of that I recommend the Alan Storm articles that explain with deep investigations the concepts of Magento 2.
Also, Magento 2 dev docs is a great place to start getting familiar with the software and how it works.
Try to get your hands on one of those books, it'll help you as well
Finally I suggest you use Magento StackExchange and Magento Forums as much as possible as you will get a lot of help from the community if you face any issue.

@MagePsycho honestly they are all very similar but as the Magento 2 Cookbook was featured during Imagine 2016 I reckon I will go for this one if I had to pick one May 25, 2016 at 19:51
