# MicroPython
2021-01-22 08:08:04 +00:00
2022-01-26 10:40:22 +00:00
The easiest way to get started. If you're new to Pico, we recommend you read our [getting started with Pico ](https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-pico ) tutorial.
2021-01-22 08:08:04 +00:00
2022-01-31 14:29:27 +00:00
:warning: All of our MicroPython libraries are baked into a batteries-included, custom version of MicroPython which you can grab from releases: [https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases/latest/ ](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases/latest/ )
2021-01-22 08:08:04 +00:00
2022-01-31 14:26:48 +00:00
New releases are issued regularly with new libraries, bug fixes to our existing libraries and new features inherited from MicroPython upstream. Be sure to check back!

# C/C++
2022-11-01 16:53:47 +00:00
Advanced users that want to unleash the full power of Pico can use our C++ libraries. If you know what you're doing and want to build your own Pimoroni Pico project then start with the [Pimoroni Pico SDK Boilerplate ](https://github.com/pimoroni/pico-boilerplate ).
