One thing about micro stakes, it can be more difficult to learn when playing micro stakes because people play different than they would at higher stakes. If you stand to lose 10 cents, you take it much less seriously than if it was 100 dollars. So people just play much looser and less seriously. They will for example call you on hands they would never call at higher stakes and make bets they would never do at higher stakes. Because the cost to call your hand is so low.
But you can learn some things there of course, just keep in mind that micro stakes and higher stakes is played differently. If you are going to learn poker, my advice is to read and learn the math first of all. All the poker math. It's not very difficult and you need to follow the math to win, knowing the odds of every hand, how much to bet and so on. It might sound like a chore but it's pretty basic, not complicated, just a little boring to learn. But the math is very important to play well.
I have one of those, a White's detector. It's a great hobby.
