what is the best thing or board to start with learning about embedded and interfaces, is it mandatory to learn circuits first?
Exactly this. I've been programming most of my life, so am not intimidated by the idea of programming micro-controllers. It's just writing another program to me.If you don't understand the basics of electronics, you will only be copying what other people have already done. You will not be able to create your own projects or solve the problems involved.
We can give you better advice if you can tell us, in detail, what you already know and what sort of embedded system design you plan on doing.what is the best thing or board to start with learning about embedded and interfaces, is it mandatory to learn circuits first?
Title: Understanding Basic Electronics, 1st Ed.Exactly this. I've been programming most of my life, so am not intimidated by the idea of programming micro-controllers. It's just writing another program to me.
But I have only been playing with electronics seriously for a few months and will continue with the basic circuit building until it starts becoming intuitive. It's hard to write your novel if you don't know the alphabet.
I know it's exciting to see the amazing things makers are doing, but I promise you there is still fun to be had learning the basics!
If you don't know Linux, I'd start with something like Arduino. There are libraries to do the hard part for most things whether it be blinking LEDs or making sounds. Otherwise, I'd start with a Raspberry Pi because you'll have a richer set of capabilities (memory, storage (FLASH), WiFi, Bluetooth).what is the best thing or board to start with learning about embedded and interfaces,

For connections, you want jumpers, not headers. For connections between an Arduino and breadboard, these are convenient:i want to get some pin headers, i want to know if these are ok .. , (2.54 mm Pitch, Vertical, 8.08 mm (0.318in) Mating, 3.81 mm (0.15in) Tail) for bread board and arduino header
The headers you mentioned earlier are still useful. I made up some custom jumpers using a repurposed female type connector and they work with the 0.25" square male headers.i've ordered a set of these before
