Does anyone know of a good kit out there that would enable me to hook a microcontroller board to me computer via some port and then transfer a program written on my computer over to it. I found a kit from Radio Shack that allows it:

But the programming language it uses is BASIC, which in my opinion is a very ugly language, and not really helpful. I'm hoping to find one that uses either C or Assembly (preferably Assembly, because I don't know how to program in assembly yet)
Any ideas? I would prefer a board that is already built, or one with very easy instructions, because I have no idea how to read a schematic yet. I could learn (it's on the list of things to do), but I would prefer to wait, and work with something less expensive my first time out.
Ok, Make sense? Anyone know of anything out there?
Thanks for your time,
Josh
