ARM Newbie... Where To Start

Hello,

I'm absolutely a newbie for ARM. I've read many articles but couldn't get the point where to start.
ARM7,ARM9,ARM11,Cortex-M3,Cortex-A8... Which one should I start to learn? Most advanced or the basic one?
Which develepmont kit and which compiler you could advice for such a newbie? (I know only C as a programming language) Or alternatively, is an ARM simulator enough for the first steps? Which documents should I read? (a book or a document source on the internet like [url="http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp"]this[/url])

    Thanks for your suggestions.
    If you are more interested in mircocontrollers, then I'd go for a M3.  It's not a core I've used much myself, but I've played with the Keil tools/boards in the past.  They were quite nice.

    Aren't they all microcontrollers? Is there any document in which I can find the point to decide which one best suits my needs? In fact, I have no specific aim to realise with ARM. I just want to take the first step successfully and not to give up triying because of a wrong selection.

    By the way, Zamer's proposal seems reasonable. Let's say I'm interested in Linux and decided to start with Cortex-A series. Isn't it harder to start with an upper class ARM family? If it is, I'm afraid to get demoralized because of first unsuccessful attempts.

    I need your advices.
    Respects..
