just an intro just getting into the world of programming to which i might add is very limited to lets join this bit with this and hope it works so i'm gonna be asking some real dumb questions just be easy in replying abuse replies are welcome in private lol

Programming what?
An Arduino development board with Arduino C++.
A Raspberry Pi with Python.
Lots of beginner tutorials online for both products and beginner programming in general.

@robotbuilder trust me when I say I have seen a lot of vids but some just don't cover what I want to do well more specifically the sketch I'm working on for arduino atm so i may have a help post in the next few days helps to have a fresh set of eyes and ppl who know what they are doing that can help sought the issue

Simple - you start at the end and work back to the front.

Fill in the gap.
I'll add to the above - Raspberry Pi Pico using Python - not as good as C but it's being pushed hard as easy to learn. Pico + Thonny is a slick beginners' set up. Cost £5. Absurdly powerful for size/cost. Much more grunt than the original IBM PC.
That's it - one single module which has an on board LED. So you get to turn it off and on, then flash it, then slowly brighten and dim it, all at different speed.

@hilldweller cool thanx for the info but trust concentrating on one device first lol I'm sure in the future projects that i'll have a gander at the pico to see if it will do what i want my projects to do

@hilldweller concentrating on one device first
Good move - it's so easy to go round and round in circles = "The Other Man's Grass.......".
In my mind Arduino is the best chance a serious beginner has. The basic Uno will do incredible things but if the going gets tough you switch to the ESP32 and do mind blowing things on a step by step progression.
