The PIC user manual should be enough to get you started.

The best way I found was to play with the PIC and do simple things
like adding 2 numbers etc
Use the MPLAB simulator to try things out,

If you are struggling with assembler then go for a C compiler.

When in Rome - do as Romans as they say. From what I've seen most everyone
else is using assy', and there must be some reason for that. Although I've
got the impression from what I've read so far, that If I intend to make a
career boost out of PICs then somewhere down the line I'll have to learn to
program PICs in C as well.


Its horses for courses.

I would use assembler in the smaller PIC's for speed and code
compactness.

If using the bigger memory PIC's then I would recommend C.

Unlesss you are programming for mass production the size of code
probably doesnt matter as there is always a bigger PIC !

I must admit out of 30 years of using the PIC I only used C once and
that was the program I had to fix was written in C.
