Hi, I am a software developer who is new to the world of microcontroller programmer, and I am very excited to get started with netduino. I have a question about what parts I should buy for a project that I would like to build. I would like to connect the netduino to a small LCD screen, and to have several buttons and an on\off switch as inputs. Which parts do you recommend I get to do this? I am having a hard time finding which LCD screens are compatible with netduino. Thanks so much.

For LCD I have very good luck with this one which is easy to use - just hook up power to the 3.3V output, ground to ground and then the TX pin on one of your UART's to the RX on the LCD and you're off and running.

As for buttons - anything will work! Sparkfun has a bunch as well.
