  Don't know off-hand about other solutions, but I've been using FullDuplexSerial from Spin.
  
  For example, this snippet joins a network:
  

  OBJ
  wificom : "FullDuplexSerial" 
  
  wificom.start(WX_DO,WX_DI,0,115200) ' rxpin, txpin, mode, baudrate
  wificom.rxflush   ' Clear RX buffer
  wificom.str(string($FE,"JOIN:"))
  wificom.str(@ssid)
  wificom.str(string(","))
  wificom.str(@pass)
  wificom.str(string(13,10))

  Well, dang, is it just that simple? Thanks!

  Yeah!
  
  And just to check... you've found the API document ?
  
  All the serial commands are detailed there.
  
  From memory, you might want to set either DO or DI low for a few milliseconds, to toggle the ESP module between serial command mode and transparent mode. The API describes that too.

  I've heard that there is a new way to add Wi-Fi connectivity, is this true?
  Is it listed in this guide?

  Can't say if it's true without knowing what you've heard.
  
  Could you share a link and/or explain "what you've heard" ?
