Raspberry pi or tinker pad?

Question

Hello friends.
I have 2 questions and need your help.
1. Which one do you think is better to buy, raspberry pi or tinker pad?
2. Where did you learn to work with this system ?(is there any class or good tutorials)
(I've checked YouTube and don't know which one is good)
I am educating in software engineering at the moment and just wanted to see real programming on machines not just virtual.
Tnx in advance.

Although the performance is better with the Asus Tinker board I would stick with the Raspberry Pi. There is more support for the RPi than the Tinker board mostly due to the Tinker's Rockchip processor and the abundance of projects for the RPi. Compatibility does seem to be growing however. Then there is the price difference. The Tinker is almost double the price of the RPi 3.
There are tutorials for the RPi on their website to get you started. There are also courses on several learning sites such as Udemy, Stackskills, etc both free and paid. Just search for them.
