Start with a really simple assembler program first.  Just have it
alternately write 0 and FFh to a port, then watch for activity on the scope.
Work up from there slowly one step at a time.  Your first project or two
should be in assembler until you are thouroughly familiar with the
instructions and the PIC architecture.  Like everything else, add the
compiler as an incremental step after you've got everything below it working
properly.

You might just decide to stay with assembler once you've gotten that far,
but in either case you'll understand what's happening at the instruction and
hardware level.  That is essential on these kind of specialty
resource-limited systems no matter what language you use.
