Where to start in embedded software programming - newbie

Hello Folks,

I have an EE degree but havent worked in the industry for 8 years, busy raising a family.

I want to update my skills and was confused on where to start. I have programming experience in C and VB and like the idea of learning to program microcontrollers.

My questions are as follows:
1. Where, and how can I learn enough about embedded device programming to get a decent job?
2. Are there any web sites where I can get more information?
3. Can I get an entry level job if I am able to do some decent programming in C?
4. What other options do I have?

I would appreciate feedback.
Thanks
Lisa

    I think a better approach is:

    1a. Download the free Keil evaluation software;

    1b. Read the uVision Getting Started guide, and work throug the example projects in it

    This will give you a proper introduction to the tools - rather than just "diving in" without knowing whether you're at the deep-end...! ;-)
