The paul mcwhorter videos have been a big help in getting started quickly. I finally pulled the trigger on a sparkfun kit and opened an old raspberryPi I had and have learned enough to start thinking of my own ideas and I haven't finished the series yet. Since a couple folks have mentioned arduinos, I would check out https://www.youtube.com/@paulmcwhorter https://www.youtube.com/@paulmcwhorter he has an arduino tutorial. My best advice is to just grab the kit he's using and jump right in. His method of teaching is step 1 to step 100 kind of teaching. So you with some tools and medium level prog skills, should be able to watch the videos in a faster speed. This is his amazon ref link from his video. The kit is also on sale right now. https://www.amazon.com/EL-KIT-001-Project-Complete-Starter-Tutorial/dp/B01CZTLHGE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=elegoo%2Bsuper%2Bstarter%2Bkit&qid=1582663388&sr=8-3&linkCode=sl1&tag=sonofthesouth-20&linkId=242e768d54e634daf31fdd05288857bc&language=en_US&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/EL-KIT-001-Project-Complete-Starter-T...
