Spehro gave you good advice. You can use the mplab program to create an
assembly language program in a provided text editior. This program can also
simulate the operation of the processor running your program. If your just
learning then you actually don't need to even burn a chip at all.
To be able to write in a higher level language you will need a compiler
program. If you want to program in C you will have to get a C compiler for the
PIC processors. I can't remember what outfit provides a free small compiler but
it is for the 16f84 chip so your in luck.
