I'm looking to purchase my first Arduino Ono board with a kit. I think I want a kit??
I found this awesome community and thought it would be a great idea to join. I've watched countless videos, and I'm ready to jump in, but where do I start?
I've been to this store, the org/cc site, Amazon, and Adafruit, and all of them have different kits with different parts.
Do I even want a kit, or get the parts separately?
I thought since most of you have been in this for a while, you could recommend whether I should buy a real Arduino or a clone. A kit or the board and parts... I'm not worried about the cost, I'd just like to do it right the first time.
The name brand kit seems pricey for the parts you get compared to the clones, but I don't know.

I've seen this one on Amazon too: $34.99
Elegoo EL-KIT-003 UNO Project Super Starter Kit with Tutorial for Arduino
There are kits on Amazon with component boards like: $29.86
ELEGOO Upgraded 37 in 1 Sensor Modules Kit with Tutorial for Arduino UNO R3 MEGA 2560 Nano 2016 new version
Sorry to be a noob, but I guess everyone is at one point.
Thanks so much!

EDIT: I ordered the name brand kit from Amazon and I love it. If I was not already a software developer, I's say the book does a nice job in explaining the coding aspect. My only wish is that the editor had intellisense.
Other then that, Arduino is a blast, and I'm so glad I ordered it.
