Hi,

I'm also new to PIC's, I thought I might be able to
figure them out with the datasheets, but having no
prior experience to microcontrollers or assembly
language I had no choice but to find a book.

I have Programming & Customizing PICmicro
Microcontrollers, 2nd Edition by Michael Predko, I
feel it is a rather good book, I can say that I am
starting to understand PIC's.  It covers a lot of
topics, and also includes a PCB for the "el cheapo"
programmer (I have not tried using it yet though, as I
already purchased a PICStart Plus), as well as a
CD-ROM with experiments/projects.

Although this is the only PIC book I have, so I can't
make any comparisons, but I do think it is a good
book.
