Hello there.
My question is in two-folds:
Can I program a chip and program it myself? Or must I have a company to do that for me?
If I can program a chip myself, what are the best languages to program a chip?
Thank you.

You can buy EPROM's which you can program yourself, most likely in assembly.

Hi,
You can program microcontrollers, unlike microprocessors they include more things on chip like memory, IO interface, RS232, DAC and some times even USB and RF functions. I recomend you PIC (from www.microchip.com) especially 16F84A or 16F877 (compared their price to their performance almost always it is cheaper to use a PIC than using a couple of standart logic ICs). You can code both in PIC ASM and using some C compilers written for PIC. They are fairly easy to upload code to; google PIC programmers you can build one yourself with few parts or buy one cheap (don't spend more than $20).
