Programming

The Mini SAM is capable of running on either the Arduino platform or the CircuitPython platform. If ordered from this site, it will come with CircuitPython preloaded. In addition, it contains a UF2 bootloader that really eases the process of changing between Arduino and CP.

Do It Yourself Assembly

Give it a try yourself, if you are feeling adventurous. Order some boards, collect the bill of materials, and try your hand at assembling the boards.
