Espressif has some great resources built around the ESP32:

ESP32.com -- Great forums, where you can discuss ESP32 news, get help, or show off your project.
Espressif ESP32 Resource Page -- A great source for the latest datasheets, reference manuals, and software tools.
Espressif GitHub Repositories -- Espressif is efforting to be as open-source as possible. Among other things, you'll find repositories for Arduino ESP32 support, SDK's, and even a proof-of-concept NES emulator hosted on their GitHub page.
ESP-IDF -- IoT Development Framework -- If you want to take your development environment up a step from Arduino, this should be your first step into ESP32 software development. Some notes on the IDF:
- The IDF is well-documented. Check out the set up guides (for Windows, Mac or Linux) for help getting your environment set up. For help with the API's and data structures, check out esp32.info.
- There are a handful of example applications, including a BLE Advertising example, which works as a proof-of-concept for the ESP32's Bluetooth support.
- Use the ESP-IDF project template, once you're ready to start creating applications of your own.
