Do you have a decent digital camera? Even a newer phone camera can give pretty decent scans. Something like this is pretty cheap and gets the job done.
If you do have a DSLR you can get a light board to back light the film, then take pictures with your DSLR camera. That's how I scanned until I built my darkroom. Now I prefer to print in the darkroom and scan the prints.
That sounds very helpful. Thank you so much. I plan to look into the Annie Leibovitz photography masterclass. Link for anyone interested : https://www.masterclass.com/classes/annie-leibovitz-teaches-photography
Since the a-1 has a standard screw fitting for tripods you have lots of choice. If Amazon is convenient in your country the Amazon basics range of tripods are quite affordable and we'll constructed.
I have used their budget tripod with my A-1 and its overall been a good experience for the price (£11/$13.70~/€12.40). It's very light and good for travel, but also robust. One consideration to make is that because the A-1 is a bit heavy it might not be as stable on a tripod used on less even surfaces or in the wind. You should choose a heftier tripod if that's a concern.

I have this scanner which does the job and if I want prints then I use one of the many online sites like photobox or snapfish.
I'm late. Maybe of interest for the next person:
>What aperture and exposure setting is best for a beginner ? I plan on take photos outside in the lovely summer sun !
See https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Exposure-Fourth-Photographs-Camera/dp/1607748509
>Where do I get the film developed ?
Those places have nearly disappeared. I can't speak for the states but Jean Couteau (pharmacy) is easy if you're in Canada. You can also develop yourself.., if you really want to.
> Is there a way they can develop the film onto a disc or USB to create jpeg photos for editing or to send digitally ?
Scanner. Some places offer to develop & scan (barrel scanner).
>Any other tips ? dos and donts ?
Keep your film in a freezer for storage (I have portra expired two years ago which still shoots well). Leave it out over night before you plan to shoot, I'll keep a roll in the fridge if I'm thinking about it.
>Any links to video tutorials or articles would be stellar as well !
Look for Bryan Peterson online and in youtube.
