Here is my two cents:

I have a high regard for Myke Predko's book _Programming and Customizing the
PIC Microcontroller_.  His examples use the YAP (Yet Another Programmer?)
board.  I would use this programmer as then everything in the book is then
cut-n-paste.  After you finish the book, you will be a PIC guru and then we
can ask you questions.

You can download the files (GERBER, APTERATURE, Etc. -- filesize is
about  15K) necessary to have a board made at any PCB house.  They are at:
        http://www.myke.com/yap.zip

I also think that Wirz is selling a kit and/or a bare board at:
        http://www.wirz.com

Get the book and the programmer.  You can't go wrong.

NOTE:  I have no connection with either Myke Predko or Wirz.

Michael
