For the last point, I think the literature on **represented spaces** will be useful. There is a lot written about this; I recommend [this recent survey of Schroeder](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.09450.pdf) (and the sources in its bibliography). Granted, this is somewhat more geared towards *computable analysis* than *(recursive) descriptive set theory*, but there is still strong overlap.

However, I **don't** really think that (set-theoretic) forcing and inner models are best approached via computability theory, even for a computability theorist; while they do have computability-theoretic aspects, focusing too much on this will obscure the fundamentally set-theoretic nature of the topic which is necessary to any deep understanding. In particular, while  there is a notion of forcing in classical computability theory, in my opinion it's far too weak to yield a good bridge to set-theoretic forcing.

## That said ...

For general set-theoretic forcing and inner models, I think the right starting point *(overlooking the concern of the paragraph above)* is **hyperarithmetic theory**. Not only is this a "lightface" analogue of the Borel hierarchy (so it's relevant to the previous point too), it is tightly connected to the construction of $L$: in a very strong sense, $L$ is what you get when you "continue the hyperarithmetic hierarchy through the ordinals" (the relevant term here is "**master codes**" - see [here](https://www.jstor.org/stable/2273183?seq=1)).

Hyperarithmetic theory is also useful for understanding set-theoretic forcing. Forcing in *classical* computability theory (e.g. Jockusch-Soare forcing) is a bit too simple to provide a good starting point for set-theoretic forcing in my opinion. One wants to shift from classical computability theoretic forcing to forcing over some "set theory flavored" structure. It turns out that **forcing over *levels of $L$*** is a very good context for doing this. For example, consider the proof that a comeager set of reals $x$ satisfy $\omega_1^{CK}(x)=\omega_1^{CK}$; this is basically "Cohen forcing over $L_{\omega_1^{CK}}$." In general, there's a rich theory of **forcing over admissible sets**.

My personal favorite treatment of the hyperarithmetic hierarchy and related notions is (the first few parts of) [Sacks' book **Higher recursion theory**](https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/higher-recursion-theory/93B0D8F4DEEE99273FFF7538446E3C1B) *(it should be available via [ProjectEuclid](https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.pl/1235422631), but that link doesn't work at the moment)*.

*Now granted, [in a precise sense](http://jdh.hamkins.org/forcing-as-a-computational-process/) we can make sense of forcing "computably" rather than "hyperarithmetically;" however, while it's a very nice result I don't think this is a good way to approach the subject as a beginner from computability theory.*

One final topic worth mentioning re: forcing, specifically connected with combinatorial topics like $\mathsf{CH}$, is the theory of [**effective cardinal characteristics of the continuum**](https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/handle/2027.42/77915). This amounts to a "computable analogue" of the analysis of the interval $[\aleph_1,2^{\aleph_0}]$ via forcing, with set-theoretic forcing notions usually having corresponding computability-theoretic ones which yield analogous results. For example, we have a direct connection between the following two facts:

 - It is (relatively) consistent with $\mathsf{ZFC}$ that there is a cardinal $\kappa$ such that $(i)$ there is a set $F$ of functions $\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$ such that every $g:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$ is *escaped* by some $f\in F$, but $(ii)$ there is a set $F$ of functions $\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$ such that every $g:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$ is *dominated* by some $f\in F$.

 - There are hyperimmune degrees *(= compute a function escaping all computable functions)* which are not high *(= compute a function dominating all computable functions)*. 

**Note that a *consistency result* is replaced by an *outright fact*.**

Here the idea is to shift from **cardinality** on the set-theoretic side to **lowness/highness notions** on the computability-theoretic side. Moreover, while the applications generally go from the set-theoretic version to the computability-theoretic version, there is at least one case where we get a result on the set-theoretic side building on an initial result on the computability-theoretic side; the set-theoretic result (which was much harder) was [gotten by Ivan Ongay-Valverde](https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.09837), and the computability-theoretic result is [joint between Ivan and myself](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.05041).

However, I think that this is a bit of a double-edged sword: while much more accessible to the classical computability theorist than hyperarithmetic theory, the conceptual shift in the previous sentence does lose a lot of the set-theoretic "spirit." I'm not sure how much I recommend it as a pedagogical starting point.
