If you're going in depth with the Pico, you'll want to bookmark the extensive documentation available picoraspberrypi.org.

It's heady stuff, be prepared for a technical read, but anything you might need to know is explained in these pages. This includes a complete pinup diagram of the Pico, including the location of analog to digital converters, UART, SPI, I²C and debugging pins.
