Be aware that serious modern cryptography is essentially pure mathematics, and to code it yourself is both not advisable for anything other than fun and education, and remarkably tricky to do well.
That said, one of the best sources I've seen recently is Prof Boneh's course over on Coursera; https://www.coursera.org/course/crypto
You can simply download the videos and watch them. Understanding the cryptography is far harder than implementing it. If you don't have the mathematics you'll struggle, so give the first few videos a go and see what you need to learn.
