8051 Newbie

Hi, I just completed a course on 8085 microprocessor.

Now i want to start learning 8051. Is the
background of 8085 enough for 8051 or do i
need to learn more before
starting 8051? Also which is the best book to start with ? what tools/software/hardwares do i need ? and where do i start

from?
Please guide me...

    The Getting Started guide is here:
    www.openwatcom.org/.../c_readme.pdf

    It says:

    "Watcom C/C++ is a professional, optimizing, multi-platform C and C++ compiler with a comprehensive suite of development tools for developing and debugging both 16-bit and 32-bit applications for DOS, extended DOS, Novell NLMs, 16-bit OS/2, 32-bit OS/2, Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98/Me, Win32s, and Windows NT/2000/XP (Win32)."

    So the answer to your question is, as previously stated: No, it does not support the 8051!

    The Getting Started guide also says:

    "You should read the entire contents of this booklet, as it contains information on new programs and modifications that have been made since the previous release."
