Announcing a tutorial which I hope will help new users of the fabulous little ESP8266 get going...

It was written for ESP8266, "Thing: Dev Board", but many elements should also be useful to people with Sparkfun's OTHER ESP8266 "Thing".

At bottom: Information on, and help with, a $3.35 (free p&p worldwide, and not by slow boat) PCB which is a shield/ protoboard for development work.
