Amazing little board but no good documentation

I'll start by saying that I'm a beginner when it comes to Arduino. I just bought my first Arduino Uno a few months ago. Before I bought this board I used an ESP8266 to create a project with 5 ESP8266 and temperature sensors, database logging and a web interface. Since the ESP8266 was fairly easy to set up and run, I felt like I could get this board up and running quickly. I can report that I spent a lot of time finding good documentation and examples for this board. Everything I've tried so far is different enough from the ESP8266 to be disappointing. I was able to set up LoRa transmit and receive between the two devices and get WiFi working, but I'm nowhere near as comfortable as I am with the ESP8266. First of all, if you want to use this board, I would recommend that you try to find docs, examples, tutorials, etc. first. If you are patient and imaginative, I would highly recommend this board. You really are quite amazing.
