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="

It depends on what you see doing with it afterwards.
If you are interested in things like Linux, then I'd you need one of the Cortex-A cores. There are a couple of fairly cheap Cortex-A8 boards out there which are still quite powerful. In many cases there are already Linux ports available and dedicated community forums/mailing lists.
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.
