AVR-Chat

I never took to C and I usually prefer assembler but when it comes to 
the AVR,
I am partial to Bascom.  Todays Basic compilers are much more structured
& efficient and have come a long way since the days of GOTO 100.
"This is not your father's Basic" :)
Bascom has a lot of built-in functions, it's quick and easy to get 
something
up and running and there are lots of samples and support for it. You can 
also
do inline assembler code anywhere you need it. It's inexpensive yet 
powerful.
You can get it for US$59 from Rhombus (www.rhombus-tek.com) in the US
or directly from the author (www.mselec.com) in Europe.

(No commercial interest, just my biased opinion :)
