how to start after Arduino

[dbint]

I've developed some things with Arduinos.

Now, I have STi and LPC800 boards and don't know how to begin.

I can load demo code and compile and load to the boards, but where can I find the basic handholding tutorials to get me writing my very first tiny program for these?

NXP has tutorials for the LPC800 http://www.lpcware.com/, I don't know about STI

Those tutorials are just how to get the IDE running.

For example, the example file has some #includes. How do I know what to include in a new program? Need a basic tutorial.

There might be something here http://www.lpcnow.com/ The LPC is not designed as a hobby micro and does not have a big following yet. If it becomes popular it might have more support.

Any 'hobby micro' you'd suggest?
I could do this again with the STi Discovery. Do they have a very basic tutorial?

I would start by programming your Arduino without the Arduino environment (install Atmel Studio, etc.) try the SmileyMicros tutorials.

You're pretty unlikely to find "basic tutorials" once you leave the hobbyist environments. You'll find either tutorials for people who know electronics and need to learn C, or for people who know how to program and need handholding for the electronics, or for people who know electronics AND C and just need to figure out THAT SPECIFIC environment.

TI had some nice tutorials for their Stellaris Launchpad, if you don't mind waiting till step 25 to take the board out of its box...

This seems good. Are these the Youtube tutorials or some other one they do?

I'm in the category of knowing the electronics, knowing Arduino C, and needing regular C in whichever IDE, TBD.
