Hello devs,
I am a coding enthusiast. I have downloaded code in a Ubuntu VMWare machine and I am able to compile the code.

I am looking for a course / site that can give me an overview of the code like:
1. How is the code organized and which file/folder has these components?
     * Core RDBMS engine components, 
     * additional DB components, 
     * DB Rule based security components  
     * DB Storage components
    * Index storage

There's probably something like that, offered by someone out on the internet.

I'd suggest you start with the official information, as described in the documentation:
