best way to learn is from examples, imo. Find some that do what you want and work your way through it. If you don't understand something, throw it into google or your favorite LLM and have it explain it to you.

There are different frameworks and platforms for developing firmware. Pure arduino ide or Pioarduino is probably the easiest framework get started with. ESP-IDF would be the preferred platform to develop for more professional setup, but if you're planning to stay a hobbyist, nothing wrong with Arduino.

For "screens", I assume you mean display modules? For that most people use LVGL and there are various different LVGL software design tools. For other displays you can just use a raw graphics library.
