  1. The 8051 doesn't come with a boot loader so you need a flash programmer that you either buy or build to program it out side of the circuit. You program in circuit but the programmer is several humdred dollars.

    Consider using the AVR Butterfly which does come with a serial boot loader. For $25 you get a complete development system  using the AVR core.

    Also get the book Programming the AVR Butterfly in C

    After that I would recomment programming the ATtiny series of uC's using a $80 STK500 programmer devdlopmen kit. You can program in either C or assembler using the free Atmel Studio 4
