Oh yeah also, get soldering wick when you can. It can help with removing things and cleaning up solder pads (if there isn't enough solder for it to work, you typically add solder to the pad/joint to help the wick pick it up). There's also vacuum pumps but even if you have one, solder wick is still useful for cleaning up things after using a vacuum pump. Solder flux is also important to have to. That helps with soldering to small pads and keeping solder from spreading too far from an area which can happen with small SMD style PCBs where things are closer together.
