Combine the lack of beginner-oriented ESP32 tutorials with the high learning curve associated with microcontrollers, and it’s better for newcomers to hold off on investing in an ESP32 initially.

Arduino projects can help ease the learning curve of getting into programming, and even add some smart functionality to your everyday tasks around the house.

The flash-based PIC family of microcontrollers is another popular choice. Since they aren’t quite as beginner or user-friendly, setting up a programmer for them is not as straightforward.
