Someone has a link to an similar writeup for DSP programming?

I can't say about programming DSP processors but for learning DSP concepts, I wholeheartedly recommend this: http://www.dspguide.com/

Wholeheartedly seconding this. That book is a low-key gem.

I tried many introductory DSP books. That was the only one that stuck.

dspguide.com is good, also anything by Rick Lyons. Most of the other textbooks people tend to cite are excessively math-heavy and abstract in nature, or just plain not very good.

You wouldn't want to learn DSP on dedicated hardware at this point. Look into software-defined radio as a gateway to DSP development on native CPUs.
