What you are asking is kind of broad.  A suitable reply would be worthy of
publishing into a book itself:)

What you should do is do some research by reading Pic n Easy and searching
www.piclist.com and www.google.com for "PIC 16F874", and any other keywords
that describe what you are trying to learn at the moment.  Try programming a
small test program onto the PIC16F874 to get you familiar with the device
and tools. Maybe it would just toggle an output line on and off that you
could observe it with a scope or connecting an LED to it.

Then when you come across something that is giving you trouble and you
cannot resolve by a quick search of the archives, post a very specific
question here.

Hope this gets you on your way.  I just started doing embedded program a
couple months ago and I find it a lot of fun. (BTW, I got started by buying
this serial LCD at www.earthLCD.com called the PICL.  It has a 16F877 in it
that had a bootloader already burned into it so that I could easily write
programs on my Windows PC and download them to the 16F877 through a serial
port. IT was a great learning experience.)

Subject: How to program a pic ?

Me and my classmates are buiding a hydroponic tank. We are using a pic
16F874. We are using a booklet called Pic n Easy programming. I guess it's
supposed to be an easy programmind starter kit. If anybody knows anything
this would be greatly appeciated. You can email at rsimpkins5@home.com

Thanks,

Reggie
