Reasonably Priced Microcontroller Kit

[gerberw]

Hi all,

I need to get up to speed on my imbedded software skills. can anyone recommend a reasonably priced microcontroller based kit that one can program in c/c++. I am also looking for emulator and c/c++ software to go with it. Should have a monitor program and an RS232 interface. Not a novice but have let my skills get rusty. Thanks in advance
