I got some resources to get knowldege of LVGL and FreeRTOS. - https://learnesp32.com/ (Concepts of FreeRTOS, task, event, queue,) - https://lvgl.academy/ (You can learn how to use LVGL with freeRTOS, but It is old version of LVGL) - https://www.udemy.com/course/iot-application-development-with-the-esp32-using-the-esp-idf/ (ESP32 But you can notice how to work task and message queue event in WiFi and webserver, littile bit complex )

The big thing is the examples they have. I use Visual Studio Code with the ESP-idf extention, and if I want to learn a new functionality, I load an example and break it down. There is also the website https://learnesp32.com, which does a very high level understanding of the code, but if you have prior experience with other micro-controllers, than that probably isn't necessary.

A previous thread recommended this course: https://learnesp32.com/

The best place is the course offered by https://learnesp32.com . It's a paid course but covers all basic and intermediate topics

And yes! LearnESP32.com by Mair is a great way to getting started. Checkout his github page for valuable info.

Then I moved on to some example apps with ESP IDF, and those compiled, flashed, and worked perfectly first try. So then I found this tutorial website, and after about a day, I was doing all sorts of fancy stuff. That was the best $50 I had spent as far as understanding all the core bits very well and knowing my way around.

When I was new to ESP32 development, I found the videos at https://learnesp32.com/ to be very valuable. I felt very comfortable with ESP IDF development afterwards. Well worth $50.

ESP-IDF devcontainer + vscode and the ESP-IDF plugin? Maybe it's worth me seeing if work will let me publish our docs around it, but it was pretty much as simple as following the ESP-IDF plugin's own documentation:

https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension/blob/m...

See this: https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension/blob/master/docs/C_CPP_CONFIGURATION.md

your c/cpp extention is not configured properly, there is even explanation how to do it in extension docs https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension/blob/master/docs/C_CPP_CONFIGURATION.md

I recommend getting yourself an ESP32 devkit (either ESP32-DevKitC or ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 variants), grab https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf SDK, and trying out both WiFi and BSD Sockets usage examples using VSCode + Espressif IDF or PlatformIO plugin. Hopefully you already have an existing WiFi network at home to use it with. Avoid Arduino, MicroPython, and such dumbed-down framework anything and stick with just using ESP-IDF provided APIs directly.

good docu/tutorial scroll down to readme here: https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension

I did a fresh install of ubuntu, then followed the setup guide at: https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension/blob/master/docs/tutorial/install.md

Not sure what tutorial you are following but I used this one on github (https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension/blob/master/docs/tutorial/install.md) and didn’t have any issues, I appreciate that doesn’t help you if it’s the one you’re following.
