Microcontroller electronics - How to begin???

I want to start with microcontroller programming.

I dont know anything about microcontrollers. Should I read about the hardware first????

Please suggest some books or tutorials from where a total beginner can start learning.
Which subjects do I need to study to start making small projects using microcontrollers?
Am in 1st year, BTech. Already studied Basic Electrical in 1st sem, learning Basic Electronics in 2nd sem now.

P.S: A person suggested I use Microchip family of chips. So I think I will stick to it.
Are the books on Microcontroller Electronics written based on different chip families or is the basic concept of using the microchips the same for all families????

Also suggest some compiler(I heard CCS C is the most user friendly).
 
I started the same with AVR series using the AVRSTK500 board. It's a nice platform to start with imo. You'll be up and running in no time.
