learn about network security this book is a nice start imo:

I have an INE course on Implementing Cisco ASA Firewalls
if you're looking for videos.
For books, the best resource is Cisco ASA: All-in-one Next-Generation Firewall, IPS, and VPN Services.
Cisco has lots of good free documentation, as long as you know how to sort through it, such as the Cisco ASA 5500-X Series Firewalls Configuration Guides and Cisco ASA 5500-X Series Firewalls Configuration Examples and TechNotes.
If you have a Cisco support contract you can download the Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv)
and run it on a hypervisor like VMWare ESXi.
INE also rents Security racks that have ASA 5510 and ASA 5515X in them if you want to play around with physical hardware.
Good luck!

im looking at this book after the ocg, and i also bought chris bryant udemy course.
I too was in the same boat but just a lowly CCNA R&S! Never the less I learned. Here's some reccomendations.
As stated, get GNS3 set up with an ASA or go buy one and set it up. then, buy this book and read it.

Master the information in this book and you will know far more than I did when i first started managing an ASA. Especially pay attention to the chapters on ACL's and Site to Site VPN/Remote Access VPN.
If you want a cert out of it, maybe pursue the CCNA security alongside this? Not sure exactly what that cert entails as I have just went the teach myself and prove I know it career path..

*Edit* Don't shoot the Cisco guy! Perhaps it may be better to start with learning something like a Palo alto NGFW. I've just learned Cisco first out of necessity and the prevalence of the tech in the industry.
Do "show version" and see how many vlans you can do, and if it is "DMZ restricted", if it is, your options will be limited.

oh boy.......
My recommendation is to start at the beginning. Get an ASA book and start working through it.
It seems like if you can put yourself into a posture for expansion in anything you deploy, do it. That goes for IP schemes, topology, etc. I doubt this network will ever expand beyond two members, but if they find some sort of need to do so I'd like to give them the ability.
There are VSS-specific command options, such as:
(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode active vss-id <VSS/vPC ID>
However, that's not required so it wouldn't seem like it would be necessary. We're proof that it works without. In fact, I followed the Cisco press deployment guide for ASA and their sample config doesn't include a VSS/VPC ID.
