Getting started with BLE

Bought the Thingy:52. Works fine with its Android app. However, was that the right decision to get started programming? (I lost a weekend to find out that I cannot download software as I would e.g. with Arduino)

Your "Getting started with the nRF51 or nRF52 Development Kit" (as I see now) suggests the nRF52 DK. Should I better buy that one? What else have I to buy for to start? A Segger J-Link? A developement environement?

Is there a way to get along with Thingy:52?

As @endnode mentions, the nRF52 DK is better choice for firmware development. Thingy is more intended (but not limited to) for use for by mobile and IoT app developers to create demos and prototypes without having to develop hardware or firmware.

The nRF52 DK have built-in Segger J-Link OB debugger, which can be used for programming of the DK. You can even updating the firmware of you Thingy, using the debug out port of the DK.
