On Micro Computers such as the Raspberry Pi...

What is the best micro computer I can get to learn code.. I was looking into the Raspberry Pi but discovered I have a whole lot of options?

That depends what code you want to learn.

Python...

Python...

Then... yes, the rPi will allow you to learn Python

Iv been looking into this too. I heard arduino and raspbpi are best. Arduino is good for smaller less intense.projects and.i heard slightly easier to learn in order to start out. When i get feeling better im going to try automating my greenhouse and logging temp and humidity. With automatic watering, and fans.

If your learning Python then use a raspberry pi. If your learning c++ then use a Arduino.

I use my Raspberry Pi for Python, but I also do Python on a Windows PC. Python also runs on Apple products.

The advantages of the Pi are
its almost insignificant cost;
a host of languages you can use (see https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/faqs/#softwareLanguages)

The advantages of the windows computer (for me) are:
a lot more processing power (but that depends on the hardware you buy, of course);
it runs the free Visual Studio Community, in which you can program in a host of languages including Python (see https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/)
you can program in many languages outside of Visual Studio

Myself, if I need a windows executable, I usually write in Visual Basic in Visual Studio. If I'm just doing math & science, I write in Python in a Jupyter Notebook on a PC.
