I have earned a development board from keil (ARM based MCB2130)

Not sure why you've come to an 8051 forum, then...?!
I'm sure you'll be getting some "-1: Off-Topic" votes...

The ARM is a 32-bit processor; A lot of general embedded systems stuff will apply equally to ARM and 8051, but the specific details & restrictions of the 8051 will be irrelevant to ARM.

I really don't get meaning from the language just from the examples

Of course not - development kits are not designed to teach you programming!

I'll pay for a course.

Excellent!
This is by far the best way to learn!

I have two choices:
- a C/C++ 60h course, but PC oriented
- a C 24h course for PIC controllers using the CCS tools
what do you think is more adequate for a foundation?

As James said, Take Both!

The first should give you a thorough introduction to the language; the second should introduce you to the particularities of small-scale embedded systems.

But again note that the specific PIC details will not help you with either ARM or 8051!

For ARM-specfic information, go to http://www.arm.com
