Which family?

These are not "traditional" PIC and are best programmed in C
The MIPs based core
dsPIC
PIC24
And a couple of others...

These are more "traditional" PIC architecture (What  I call "real" PIC)
10F, 12F, 16F, 18F
They can be programmed in ASM, C, "pascal", "Basic" "Forth"  or JAL. JAL=20
is the only high level language specially designed for them.

The 10F and 12F are for high volume low pin count application.

If your aim is to have rapid development time and  hobby projects get a =20
Pickit2 programmer and  JAL on a PIC 18F4550 to start with.

You need to tell us more about your goals.

Overview here http://www.techtir.ie/projects/pic  of  10F, 12F, 16F and=20
18F series
and PIC sites, tools and some sample projects in C and JAL (Strictly=20
actually JALV2)

Other members here would be expert on the other main Microchip cpus with=20
PIC in the name :-)
For me if the PIC18 isn't "powerful" enough I go to non-Microchip MIPS,=20
ARM or x86 designs depending on application.
