Hello
I am currently studying programming and have just started a course on programming microcontrollers, and i am VERY impressed at what you can do with these things. Therefore i want to buy a board and start programming and such myself. I am however TOTALLY new to microcontrollers and I have no idea what to buy.
So I have some questions:
Can you do the same on a 32-bit controller as on an 8-bit? (I know it would not work the other way)
Is a 32-bit a lot harder to learn than an 8-bit, or will the programming and operation of it be simlar?
I am also wondering about some specific boards:

and:
http://viewitem.eim.ebay.no/New-ARM...ouch-Screen-AVR-ARDUINO-DSP/270851051006/item
They are very cheap, i know, but will that limit what i can do with them too much?
Would it be hard to attach input and output devices to them. I am talking about som of the stuff from arduino, like the combined I/O unit with 8 leds, 8 buttons and 8 single digit displays.
If I am stupid for asking this I would very much like some pointers to some good, but cheap boards.
