There are hardly any guides or proper tutorials on how to program the ESP microcontroller and what set of functions and syntax are used in order to code it. Most of the guides online and on youtube simply tells you use alternative methods instead of using a micro usb to download the program and what Python updates you'll need for it.

Have you read this :- A-Beginner's-Guide-to-the-ESP8266.pdf available from :- https://github.com/tttapa/ESP8266/blob/master/A%20Beginner%27s%20Guide%20to%20the%20ESP8266%20-%20article/PDF/A-Beginner%27s-Guide-to-the-ESP8266.pdf
