The 2x5 ICD connector on my kits are wired with all the rows connected (so it's actually a 1x5 layout). This allows it to be directly inserted into a breadboard and IMO is the easiest ICD cable for an experimenter to build.

And yes that's how you'd connect it to a typical 16F or 18F 28pin PIC
The 2x5 connector is just way more secure than a 1x5 in a breadboard. 1x5 wobbles. 2x5 does not.The 2x5 ICD connector on my kits are wired with all the rows connected (so it's actually a 1x5 layout).

If you need Digikey or DipMicro or Sparkfun part numbers for those connector parts, I have them. Might save ya some time searching...i would assume
now that i understade i have to go buy everything and learn to program

The JDMs are pretty unreliable on modern PCs & OSs. No debugger either.
They are easy to build but if you have a modern PC they tend not to work. If you have an old 386 machine with serial ports then they are almost guaranteed to work but MPLAB isn't.
Do yourself a big favour and buy a Junebug.
