Square 1

I like the Square One books.  I have Easy PIC'n, PIC'n up the PACE and PIC'n
Techniques.  They helped me walk through assembly and the use of basic
control registers.  Their site has freely downloadable source, but it's all
clearly printed in the book, it's good to enter them yourself to get a feel
for the coding.  I felt it was easy to read and use, and the author does
answer emails, a great plus

I recommend ordering straight from http://www.sq-1.com/ as I heard Amazon
takes a steep bite for commissions, I think someone said about 40%, I
prefered to support the author / publisher more directly.

I'm sure the other guy's books are probably good too, but I have no
experience with them.

I have no association with Square One other than having bought their books.

Jeff
