The Verge has a nice article on <a class="bold" href="https://www.theverge.com/23623723/touch-typing-keyboard-home-row-qwerty-dvorak-colemak-how-to">how to touch type</a>. It showcases several good sites and games, and contains sound advice as far as I can see.

<a class="bold" href="https://getreuer.info/posts/keyboards/alt-layouts/index.html">"A guide to alt keyboard layouts"</a> by Pascal Getreuer is a good read if you're wondering what other good layouts are out there. In particular, he covers and explains some of the newest layouts that use modern metrics like redirects (back-and-forth), lateral stretches and disjointed bigrams. And he has a nice diagram showcasing the evolution of such layouts from 1873 to the present day; granted, only showing one analyzer's take on it, but a good one.

<a class="bold" href="https://hackaday.com/2016/03/15/the-origin-of-qwerty/">"The Origin Of QWERTY"</a> gives a credible and interesting account of how QWERTY came to be back in the late 1800s, with pretty pictures to boot. It's based, among other things, on the scientific paper <a class="bold" href="https://repository.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2433/139379/1/42_161.pdf">"On the Prehistory of QWERTY"</a> (PDF format). There are many myths around, and this paper deals with them. The actual design was much more about optimizing for U.S. telegraphists and a little about a compromise between inventors and producers; not, as is commonly believed, mainly a way of avoiding key jams!

A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY#History">QWERTY layout predecessor</a> from 1870. Keys that are the same in today's QWERTY are marked in gray.<br>
Note how vowels and consonants were simply sorted in alphabetical order, left-right then right-left.

<a class="bold" href="http://xahlee.info/kbd/banish_key_chords.html">Banish Key Chords</a> by Xah Lee. The relationship between chording (such as holding Ctrl+Shift then hitting a key) and sequences (such as hitting one or more dead keys and/or a sticky shift then another key) is worth giving a thought.
