Oooh..a question I can answer:)
I am also a newbie to PICs, and  I looked around a bit before buying a
programmer.  I ended up downloading Microchips simulator and assembler
from their webpage, and I purchased a programmer from MicroEngineering
Labs.  The service was really freindly and they got my programmer sent out
the same day.  I got a bare board for 35 dollars, and spent another 10 or
so on the chips.  I also got a ZIF socket from DigiKey for 8.
I think their webpage is www.melabs.com or something.  I saw them in the
current issue of Nuts and Volts on the first few pages.
