Re: I would like to

First of all you can use a piece of software like Proteus which 
emulates microcontrollers and a lot of other circuitry. After 
understanding the basics you can make your own development board 
easily.
IMHO Atmel's AVR architecture is a lot easier to use than PIC for the 
beginner. The programmer can also be home-made like USBAsp or even 
using a couple resistors and wires connected to the parallel port.

The most interesting micros for hobbyists in my opinion is ST's 
STM32. The STM32F100C4T6 is cheaper than all the AVRs and PICs in my 
country. It also easily outperform any avr. To program it you need 
only a serial port (it has a built-in bootloader which can not be 
erased). There is also an open-source debugger/programmer named 
Versaloon. But the learning curve for STM32 is a little higher than 
the simple AVRs.
