Chris, try the beginner's checklist at:

http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist/begin.htm

I use the EPIC programmer from melabs.com, but there are many
others available. EPIC includes an assembler, and is cheap and
and easy to use.

There are many Basic and C compilers for PIC, but I have not
used any. Maybe others can suggest their favorites.

Also, you can get the Microchip MPLAB development environment
for free - I haven't used it either, but it appears that the
learning curve is rather steep on this jobber.

Finally, try a search on "beginner" or "assembler" or "compiler"
in the PIClist archives to bring up past threads on this. You will
probably final 100s of entries. Scroll to bottom of page to find
search window:
