The two threads here, "Good (cheap) PIC chip choice for project?" and
"Follow-up question re: microcontroller families" have a lot of good
information. A more organized approach is available at the
Digi-Key/Design News Continuing Education Center which has several free
courses on microcontroller basics and selecting a microcontroller. You
download a Powerpoint presentation and follow along to an audio stream.
For example:
"Microcontrollers, Basics"; "Microcontrollers, Advanced"; and "Hands-On
Analysis of Five MCU Development Kits" at
