What is a development board?

A development board pairs a microcontroller or system-on-chip with power regulation, USB, and exposed pins so you can write and flash your own code without designing a circuit board first. ESP32, RP2040/RP2350, and Arduino boards are common starting points.

ESP32 or Raspberry Pi Pico — which should I choose?

ESP32 boards include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which suits connected projects; the Pico's RP2040 and RP2350 chips are simpler, low-power, and excellent for timing-critical work. Both can be programmed from the Arduino IDE, MicroPython, or their native SDKs.
