Pros & Cons
Pros
Everything you need to start experimenting with electronic circuits is here. The tutorial is well written in clear english and explains how the hardware and software work.
Instructions are on a downloadable pdf.
Great value for money. Comes in a smart carry case with separate compartments and it is full of gear. Easy to find and easy to find parts once in the compartment. Great quality of components and excellent build quality of the lcd.
There are examples for c and python, and the explanations are pretty extensive.
Cons
It seems like they have to be removed for the first project. The chip pins are easy to damage, see photo.

It does have some nice schematics and explanations for some of the components and also if youre looking to develop in python its useless

The good thing though apart from that gripe is that these parts are popular and theres plenty of information out there to get you started
