I found this page very helpful in understanding each step of the QR code creation process. I can't say I recall it all but it would be possible to turn this into a small booklet, I guess.

Here's a HN discussion from 2022 about it.

Nice! I also found this page very helpful:

This is an interactive guide that will break down the process for your specific QR-code.
