Programming microcontrollers?
Depending on the brand of uC you select will determine the programming software you use. IAR systems offeres a "Kickstart" edition to their Embedded Workbench C compilier. The kickstart edition is limited in the amount of code it is able to compile. (5K for an AVR uC) and doesn't come with any floating point math libraries.





Atmel %26amp; Microchip provide assembly programming development software for free.





If you really want todo C programming I suggest the book "Programming the Atmel Butterfly in C" It is an excellent how to which takes you step by step using an open source C compilier (GCC) . The butterfly is a cheap $35 development system tha is the size of a business card.





If you want really simple uC programming then look at Parallax's Basic Stamp. These uC's are programmed in BASIC and have lots of support.
