Ask HN: Resources to learn more about cryptography
I really don't know anything about cryptography and I am rather curious about it, I don't mind math and mathematical concepts but I would like to start learning from the ground up, perhaps just resources about using cryptography are available.
But I'm open for any suggestions.

Doesn't really teach crypto methods, but it gives a solid (and interesting) lesson about the history and thinking behind cryptology. A good read even if you're not a developer, IMHO
