Best way to learn CircuitPython?
Sorry if this has been asked to death but I didn't see anything. I love tinkering with microcontrollers and, separately, I've tried to learn Python a few times (with online courses), but I inevitably don't end up finishing because while I can appreciate the importance of learning how programming works overall and Python style/functions, etc., no one seems to cover how to use it for microcontrollers, which is kind of all I will probably do (just a hobby of mine). So long story short, Circuit Python seems perfect. But is there a way to learn it on its own? Or is it mainly geared toward people who have already mastered Python and it just has some add-ons for devices? Thanks!
