What books or courses should you study to become a full-fledged game developer?

To become a full-fledged game developer, you first need to become a full-fledged developer.

Advices:
- Start with an easy/safe language: VB, Java, C#, not C or C++. I do not recommend to start with Python either because of the usage of indentation.
- Read documentation / Follow tutorials (a lot of them)
- Start with tiny/useless projects, the purpose is to learn programming, not doing something useful.
- Start with console mode programs (no fancy graphics, no mouse)
- Learn debugger (an incredible learning tool)

- A problem ? Google is your friend.
- Learn one or more analyze methods, E.W. Djikstra/N. Wirth Stepwize Refinement/top-Down method is a good start.

There is no shortcut to knowledge, no one can learn for you, you are the only one that can do it.
Remember the exercises and little projects are not here to make something useful, they are here to teach you programming.

I agree with previous posters - all of those listed are valuable resources.

I think you should also consider starting with the basics. Linear algebra is extremely important for working with graphics. I highly recommend that you study it in depth. Learn the basics of matrices and all operations one can do with them : adding, multiplying, etc. Learn how transformation matrices work and how they are applied to the vertices of a model. I guess this can be lumped under the category of the mathematics of 3D graphics. I believe there are books and other material on this subject and I think it is very important.
