I don't think AVR (based on the ancient 8051 which is closer to its
40th birthday than its 30th) is a very good place to start. It works,
but somewhere down the road you'll discover C isn't portable between
platforms which have split memory areas.

I think the 8051 would be a better place to start. Real men code in
assembly so the fact that C doesn't port very well should never become an
issue.

With the 8051 like machines that is a truely huge amount of free stuff on
the web.
