HELLO TO EVERY BODY
i am a beginner man in electronic but i have some experiences in it.i want to start the micro controllers and programing for them. but i don't know where i can start. which type AVR, PIC, or else. which is the best and for m to begin.
i depends what you want to do with it, how you want to program , and how deep is your wallet. if you can answer a few of these i can make a few suggestions

i want to learn it for my self to. i like electronic for myself. i want to gain experience . i want o see the creatures that i had made them. (working creatures) don't talk about deepness of my wallet i cant say it is not bad and not good. but i prefer it be cheap.tnx

It's true you can learn microcontrollers using nothing more than the free simulators found on the web but it's not nearly as much fun as seeing your first LED blink.
Your right I wasn't specific enough. But to answer your question, no. Not that one, the MSP430Xxxxx, of which has heavy TI support, heavy industrial usage and support, and comes with its own USB programmer.
TI dedicates TWO different programming environments to this device, supplies an extensive code library, not only in ASM, but includes C, and C++ to go with it. To boot, they offer online training seminars, every couple of hours or so, and some of includes direct email support with technicians.
Well in my opinion, the model I currently have, where I linked above as the "beginner" model, is perfect for the hobby community, as I am certainly a newbie. You take that usb stick as shown, plug it into the USB port, download the code, and disconnect the actual msp430F201x chip and connect it to your circuit.
Like the ones you literally pick up and insert into a DIP holder? NO, you are right, the msp430fxxxx chip is EXTREMELY small, with terminals that you could never hope to solder with a soldering iron. However, here is the cool part. It is already attached to a board with pin outs/pin holes that are connected to your inputs and output pins on the MCU.
Here is the actual chip board that you disconnect from the USB programmer after you have flashed it, and connect it to your circuit.

Make no mistake, I am not saying its necessarily better than your proposed devices that you are selling, or PICS in general, its just another really good option.
I doubt the hobby community drives the industry, but I think your correct the TI part does not look hobby friendly. It does have some cool features though, like mixed signal peripherals. Check out some of the good appnotes.
