One hour a day for forty days?

I don't want to discourage you, but the total of 40 hours is just not enough of time to do it. I would double it at least. You wouldn't regret doing 2hr/day, I can promise you that.

Just look what awaits you after your 40 days preparation:

Finite Fields
Elliptic Curves
Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Signing/Verifying Messages
Parsing Transactions
Signing Transactions
Creating Transactions
Script parsing and processing
Address construction/Private Key WIF Format Construction
Parsing Blocks
Validating Proof-of-Work
Difficulty Calculations
Merkle Tree Construction
Merkle Proofs
Network Message Parsing
Segwit

Those are some advanced topics that will make your head spin. Don't sabotage yourself with 1hr/day of preparation.

Anyhow, I'll follow your progress. Good luck!
