Would this be too advanced for a 13 year old? He has a raspberry pi and likes coding eg Python & Java. Has just started soldering/electronics. Thanks

Absolutely. If he's already familiar with coding, this would be fine. You might look at raspberry pi alternatives as they have add ons which could do the same as arduino and more. Personally I think arduino is more fun as it combines the electronics side much more. I'd definately recommend it.

I want to buy this gift for my dad, who is a pro software developer and programmer. Would this be appropriate for an adult beginner with electronics?

The starter kit comes with an in-depth guide which is great for beginners. Also youtube has a lot of videos and guides also to help

Is this an authentic arduino board (with the gold component) or a copy?

As far as I can tell these are genuine components. I would recommend this kit, although I have not had much time to play with it is has been good fun.Regards,Richard

What size is the breadboard included?

Dear Sir, the size for the breadboard is 55x75x15mm aprox. I hope this information is helpfull for you. Tank you for your question. Best Regards
