Ressources to fully understand CAPM and Beta

Hey Guys, I know that some Bankers during Interviews are not satisfied with just knowing that CAPM is a way to calculate the cost of equity and what beta of -1, 0 and 1 means. I don't have a finance background and I would like to understand how CAPM is derived in the first place.

Do you know any ressource?
