Where to start

[Irv]

Interesting that someone who is "just getting started in microcomputers" is being urged to dive right into writing device drivers in ASM. Most beginners would be more encouraged by seeing something useful happen, then get into the guts of how it all works much later in their career.

Im learning C. Just teaching yourself seems so daunting. I just want to be able to program the uC to do something cool or useful. But i know i have to start simple. Any resources that could help me with C? I would appreciate it.

There are hundreds of online resources with beginners information - websites dedicated to it and, of course, good books. I find that a book is by far the best resource - something along the lines of 'Learn C Programming in 28 Days' (not sure if that's a real title but it sounds familiar!) - there are, literally, hundreds like it.
