The RP2040 is incredibly powerful compared to what I used many years ago (Z80 and 8051), which I programmed in assembler and C. And yet cheap enough to use as a dedicated logic unit for simple functions. MicroPython is my first experience of object-oriented programming, and it's a challenging change of mindset (at my age anyway) - there's a lot to take in - Python, Micro-Python and the RP2040 itself. The book is a useful starter, but the challenges are mainly simple modifications of the examples: there's a big step up from there to developing bespoke applications that use more of the RP2040 controller's power. But it's more than enough to pique my interest.

Excellent book, a bit of bs in the beginning but working code and lots of illustrations make it easy to follow along

I haven't used this much yet, but I've flicked through and it has some good example projects. It also assumes almost no knowledge of what you are doing, right down to telling you how to open a program. So it's perfect for even the most beginner of programmers!

This is a great introduction to the Pico. It starts with an intro to the hardware and programming in micropython through to practical physical computing. Well worth the money.
