You do have to be fairly specific - there are significant enough differences between families of microcontrollers that there is no all-encompassing tutorial.

Just three that I've used, and learned a bunch. I only work with AVR myself, but they all have some similiar functions. Remember, Google.com is your best friend. There are dozens of sites with tutorials or completed projects with source code. Which brings up another short coming of your request. No specific chip, and you didn't specify a language. Most tutorials are in 'C', which I don't know enough to flash an LED. Started in assembly, but need to work with servos and accurate pulses, so started BASIC about a month ago. I had used both on computers (pre-IBM PC/Windows).

It is also worth saying, that to accompany the tutorials for your chosen microcontroller, you should obtain a copy of the unit datasheet from the manufacturers website. These will address many of the hardware related details of the m/c and help you better understand what you are doing when programming.
