No, I had a class with the Basic Stamp - BS2 with the Board of Education.  I didn't have a PicBasic class or anything.  I am unfamiliar with the command structure of the PicBasic chips.  After having the exciting class with the Basic Stamp I was very much wanting to go further and move up to the SX chip, using the SX/B.  I was kind of shocked to see how little instructional material there is out there right now.  I tried finding the SX/B reference book at the attached link but it didn't load.  I do have the reference manuals that were included with the kit, and the exploring the SX book which I've been trying to follow, but it seems like they just added the SX/B stuff in as an afterthought and really are pushing the Assembler aspect.  I'd really like to see another book written on the SX/B more in the flavor of what was written in for the BS2, or perhaps an addem that would flow along the lines of the books with here's the difference is Pbasic vs SX/B and why you would do it this way type of thing.  
The reason the whole PicBasic Pro came up, was that it seems like it's a more refined language than the SX/B and the concept behind it was not to use it till you got proficient enough in assembler, but more of a means to the end.
