Good evening, I'm kinda new to PIC and electrical engineering as well, and come from a programming background (c/c++/x86 asm). The one book I've enjoyed so far is "Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics". It's pretty robust imho. Teaching you everything from the basics of physics, the basic types of logic and circuits. You can find it on ebay or amazon pretty cheap, think I paid $11 for my copy. Hope that helps, Josh P.S. BTW hang in there :) this is a good crowd of people, sometimes we poke fun :) but the bulk of the people are genuinely helpful.
