Sorry, I missed the original post. Let me take a stab at some questions.

I have been designing and building my own microcontroller boards for over 15 years as a hobby.
Design capture with tinycad. tinycad.com.PCB design with frepcb. freepcb.com.PCB manufacture with oshpark.com.  Decent price, not too slow.
I would stay away from the smaller gauge parts unless you like to work with microscopes.  Solder paste is difficult without a solder mask, just use 30 ga solder and the smallest solder iron tip you can find.
Sparkfun.com has lots of parts, breakout boards, and tutorials.

 Which is used when soldering on SURFACE MOUNT COMPONENTS or SMCs which is the very thing I asked you about and you refused to answer.
