While leaning, I would suggest using Borland C(++). It will be much
easier to learn C if the compiler is running on the target, and has good
documentation, libraries, quick compiles, a full printf, and debugging
support. Once you have mastered the 'C' portion, then get a C compiler
for the PIC.

This also points out what I think is one of the biggest advantages of
using C. You can simulate, debug, and test on a platform that is easy to
develop on, and then port to your target platform. I find the HiTech
compiler is good for that, because it is the closest to real C.
