Re schematic format: initially you may find the breakboard diagram easier as far as understanding how to connect stuff, but the electrical schematic is WAAAAY more efficient if you actually want to understand what's going on in the circuit. Once you get used to it, you eventually stop needing the breadboard diagram and can easily build directly from the schematic. I actually used to teach a practical academic course where on the first lesson I explained people how to read a schematic (without worrying about how the circuit actually works) and how a breadboard works and after this one lesson people could read any schematic and build it. So this is not a huge hurdle to cross and definitely worth it, because this is the language that everyone can speak. Be ready to fry a lot of stuff as an electronics hobbyist. Happens to me still every once in a while. Part of the deal I guess...
