You found one place (here) but participation is low because it's Usenet 
("What's that"? a youngster might ask).  It's an excellent forum to get 
good thoughtful ideas.  The SNR is extremely high.

Of course, Google is the big helper in your search.  You never know 
where you'll find info so persistent searching is the best way to go. 
As you've discovered, stackexchange and others like it are a great 
source too.

Consider hobbyist friendly sources (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc) but be 
careful of picking up bad practices from those forums.  Non-pros are 
often undisciplined but are sometimes a good source of new and 
interesting ways of doing things.

Manufacturers often host user forums which concentrate users of specific 
chips into one place (ST, TI, etc).  Information from their forums are 
often golden.  Unfortunately many manufacturers don't participate in 
their own forums which sometimes leaves the best researched solutions 
out.  Manufacturers almost always sell eval boards which usually 
features loads of demonstration type small projects in source code form. 
  You get that from their product web pages.

Sample source code is my favorite way of learning.  Grab it when you can 
find it.  Play with it.  You'll be challenged to learn because you'll 
find some sample source code really doesn't work.  You'll be smarter if 
you can plow your way through the bad code to eventually make it work.

Good luck with your new learning.
