Most forums don't really provide a step-by-step ... what I'd suggest you do is google on "ESP8266 tutorials". If you can get some basic functions going, that may help bootstrap you knowledge. If you have a specific goal in mind such as you described in your forum post, it is usually good form to described what you have tried, what outcomes you received and what is your current challenge. Chances are that a large puzzle (such as a project) is best solved by breaking it down into much smaller and discrete steps where, when each one is solved in turn, you end up with the complete solution.

I'd also suggest that you will get better responses by picking a single and specific discrete puzzle and after you have researched that area yourself and still have questions, then post those questions. The community is here to help.

You might also want to give your forum posts descriptive subjects that will guide folks with specialist knowledge to your aid.

This description of good forum posting has been my guide for years.
