I wouldn't have said "revisit your CPU selection" had the 8535 either of the debugging interfaces. You need to learn how to find this sort of thing for yourself: http://www.atmel.com:80/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3891

I think if it is important to you to be able to type examples from the book verbatim into your keyboard then continue with that book and CodeVision. However if the book uses AVR Studio it is very likely you can not get that exact version anymore.

I have been very pleased with WinAVR, even back in the days when it wasn't properly integrated into AVR Studio. Then again, I like Makefiles and do not like undocumented mysterious binary config files which can only be manipulated with a specific version of a GUI application. I hate having to search every corner of a drop-down menu or tab of a dialog box hunting for options and current settings.
