I'm missing concepts / theory of operation

I’m a webdev, and programmer, so I get the general idea behind Hugo, but I’m missing some basic concepts, or maybe the theory of operation.

I have a functional site, but would like to understand more, because every time I want to make a change, I’m lost.

I’m reading docs and tutorials, but feel like I’m getting the big picture on a piece-by-piece basis.

Any suggested reading?

For example, when hugo runs, is it reading everything in content and trying to marry each with a template? (EDIT: yes)

Stuff like that…
