I'm starting to see questions that ask what microcontroller to choose as a beginner, such as https://robotics.stackexchange.com/q/1893/158, Should you learn assembly language for robotics? and https://robotics.stackexchange.com/q/1896/158.
Do you think we should write a FAQ like The Definitive C Book Guide and List for example so we can direct these questions to that FAQ? Maybe one that explains what factors to consider when choosing a microcontroller and what are some of the most common ones?
