This is a collection of links and resources mainly aimed at facilitating Audio-Plugin-Development (VST, AU, AAX), including some signal processing. This list curated by Oli Larkin may also be of interest. (https://github.com/olilarkin/awesome-musicdsp), as well as this one maintained by Ocean Swift (https://github.com/OceanSwift/DSP-Links-Resources)
I certainly haven't read everything here so a link != endorsement.
