I do not work for them or have any contact but have used their product for over 10 years very happily.
Great support forum as well.

Easiest is to start with one of the prototyping boards which combines a microcontroller with some support hardware and the software development environment you need. The Arduino family of cards is popular, which means there are a lot of tutorials (and Instructables) based on them. There are others, of course.

For a quick and simple one-off there's not much easier than Arduino to learn (www.arduino.cc) They will run you between 15 (built it yourself) and 40 dollars (fully assembled and ready to prototype). They're a little more idiot-proof and the learning curve is much more gentle.
If you raelly want to get into designing some heavy duty stuff, each manufacturer is slightly different. Among these are AT, PIC, TI, basic stamp etc. Most require
if you search here on instructables, you'll find a LOT of information on programming microcontrollers.
