Please guide me...
I decide to start with 8051 and which language (C or assembly language). For starting only after some months I switch to PIC or AVR. please suggest some links
 

Get a copy of "8051 microcontroller and Embedded Systems" by Muhammad Ali Mazidi and start reading. Its a good book to start.

Hello,
Best to start with C (it will be useful for more than just 8051, which let's face it, is pretty ancient).
The book you need is 'The C Programming Language' by Kernighan and Ritchie. And you should start with just your PC (you can run Linux in a
VM, and use the built-in 'gcc' compiler). Once you've had a bit of practice, get a cheap microcontroller dev kit,
for any device, not necessarily 8051, e.g. there is one for Atmel for under $20, all you need is a USB cable, and free compiler (code size limit)
from IAR. See here for more details on that, and the step-by-step instructions for writing your first program, downloading to
the board and running it.
