AVR Compendium
The Atmel AVR microcontroller families provide code-efficient 8 and 32-bit architectures with a nice array of devices and good tool support. The devices offer high performance, lots of peripherals, flash memory, and are available in both single-chip and external memory versions. One really nice aspect of the AVR is that it's been embraced by both hobbyist's and professionals, and there's a comprehensive ecosystem of development tools, software and technical support.
