I write examples for beginners but not down to just started.
Beginners can be ABC's or words then sentences... grade school to 6th equivalent in code. For some it's slow pitch while some are at T-ball.
We have all done grade school just to be here so we know the drill of starting simple with what we call simple and work up.
I try and make my examples as to the point as possible but for you it is all reaching up from the ground of what you know. You might need an intro and even learn some interpreter Basic (not compiled!) that lets you try things out way eqsier/faster... just don't pour a year into Basic unless you don't like yourself, learn to where C makes sense (much less to learn than C++) and then tackle Arduino Examples.
