If you're mainly interested in microcontrollers, pick a development
board (off the top of my head one with great bang for the buck is
the Atmel AVR Butterfly -- only $20). Get something with integrated
buttons and LEDs so you can stick to the programming part you're
comfortable with. When you want to branch out, most of those boards
have spare IOs you can hook to your own creations. Check out
piclist.com (though I would have to recommend newcomers strongly
consider AVR instead, since it's easier to get a free C development
environment going for AVR).
