USB instead of parallel port
I am a beginner in micro-controller programming.
I built a programmer that uses parallel port to program atmega16 micro controller and is working perfectly   but I have a laptop and it doesn't have any parallel ports. I want to use USB to program my micro-controller. HOw can it be implemented. |

You can't build USB programmers. USB Is very difficult to work with for hobbiests (and even engineering companies). You'd have to buy one.
You might have some hope if you had a serial programmer, but parallel...probably not since it's so old.

Spend the money and get yourself an Atmel Dragon programmer/debugger. You only have to buy it once (around $75) and then the pain is over. It's a great programmer and debugger. Does every programming/debugging mode that is available for AVRs. Well worth the $$.
There's a list of compatible chips there for the Dragon. It doesn't work on many of their older chips, which was a bit of an annoyance for me. But I have my old STK-500 for those...

Then use a serial programmer & use USB-RS232 converter.

It is easy to wire up almost any AVR to get USB connectivity.
Your request for a USB programmer is here: USBasp - USB programmer for Atmel AVR controllers

Some usb to rs232 do not use some of the comm lines required, but I hear that the more pricey ones do.
