Hello, Faisal -

There are two very good resources on the internet. 

http://www.avrbeginners.net
http://www.avrfreaks.org

The second one has a large archive of articles, projects,
and so forth. Many start with the "Butterfly" from Smiley
Micro. It is inexpensive, has a nice LCD display and some
good starter documentation.

You will find some similarities and some big differences
between 8051 and AVR. AVR is a lot faster. There are
generally more peripherals. I like it. But, there is no
directly addressed bit methodology (like the 256 bit memory
space in 8051). 

You can program AVR directly in assembly language using
Atmel Studio4. There is a gcc compiler that has a Windows
version called WinAVR. You can find out about all of this
on the avrfreaks site.

Hope this helps.

Jim
