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...

    There are certainly no signs of the 8051 becoming obsolete - and the PIC and Z80 are of similar vintage.

    With PIC and Z80, you are tied-in to a single manufacturer; with 8051s, you have literally hundreds of sources to choose from - and you can get FPGA cores to make your own.
