Im just getting back into building circuits on my breadboard and I want to know if there are any tips from the pros on here to help me on my journey. Also some links to resources for projects would be nice.

A related tip for components with lots of pins, and especially the slightly-expensive ones like microcontrollers: use sockets instead of soldering them to the board directly. That way you're less likely to overheat them with the soldering iron, and also when you do let the magic smoke out of one it's a lot easier to replace.
