Programming PIC's

Since looking at Nigel's web site about PIC's, I have become 'intrigued' by these devices. . . Only problem is, I haven't got a clue on programming. (The last programming I did was in basic on a commodore c64!) Can anyone recommend a site or book etc to teach me the basic's?

Would be grateful for any advice etc.

Apart from my tutorials, which aren't aimed at complete beginners, you might try the on-line book at https://www.mikroe.com/en/books/picbook/picbook.htm

Hey, Thanks for that Nigel. . . just had a quick look, and it seems I may have some 'light reading' to do!

I used a book by John Morton "PIC Personal Introductory Course" published in the UK.

Mine is the second edition and is a bit dated but is very good since the basics are still relevant to the 16F series and can be adapted easily for PICs such as the 16F84, 16F628, etc.

I have not ventured into the 18F series so I don't know if it is relevant to them.

Also included are 17 example programmes with circuits.

Thanks, I'll have to see if i can get hold of a copy. . . amazon.com here I come
