good resources for learning pic programming?

[stuntpenguin007]

Anybody know of any good tutorials or books to learn pic programming? I know there are some good tutorials on the internet that I've gone over, but it'd be nice to find something in textbook style to learn from. As in, learn a little bit, put it to use on your own, move on to the next chapter and repeat. I also want it to be somewhat recent (within 3 years or so), but it wouldn't be a requirement since pics haven't changed a whole lot. I'd really like something that goes in depth with spi too.

Thanks

There's this website I found that has some pretty good info about PIC instructions:

This one has some pretty good basics and will help you get started with the basic examples it has:

I have a book called "Programming and Customizing the PIC Microcontroller" I think it's by Mike Predko.

If you wanna learn to program these, I highly recommend you get yourself a development kit as it's hard to understand what the heck is going on in the code unless you play with it for yourself.
