Where to Begin

command-line seems preferred. How is the progress on using Arduino IDE?

I’ve been using the web programmer, but would like to get the program-dfu instead for faster turnaround. Actually, since I broke the fragile USB connector several times now, the contacts became loose beyond repair, so take care of that. I’m now switching to SWD instead of DFU.
