I was introduced to probabilistic programming by Frank Wood and Brooks Paige at DARPA’s PPAML program, and they are excellent teachers. Highly recommend this resource! Anglican is a great language embedded in Clojure so this is particularly good for those on JVM
If you're interested in probabilistic programming and want something a little more hands-on, I recommend The Design and Implementation of Probabilistic Programming Languages http://dippl.org/ . It's an online course/textbook that gets you programming right away and makes the power of probabilistic programming immediately clear.
