You're probably better off learning C on whatever computer you now use. This way, you're only learning one thing at a time instead of several things all at once. Less frustrating in my opinion.

Get a good book on C. I always liked the Kernighan & Ritchie book "The C Programming Language". You should always have a book to use as a reference.

Embedded systems can be strange. Some of the smaller processors/controllers use non-ANSI extensions to C in order to make access to their features more efficient/possible. There are things you have to do to make C work on an embedded system that have already been done to work on a PC/Mac/Workstation, unless you've bought a C that has already been tailored to work for the particular CPU you are using (like Zilog's eZ8 eval system).

One book I thought was helpful for embedded systems was "Programming Emebedded Systems with C/C++" from O'Reilly. They also have "Designing Embedded Hardware" if you're new to hardware too.

Look for articles about Embedded Software Development at the following link:

You may wish to take a look at my web-based training course, Real-Time Fundamentals. It's targeted at people new to the area of real-time programming and embedded systems. A free trial of the Introduction is available. Visit my web site listed below.

I don't think the OP has reached that level yet.
