PIC Programming
PICs are stupendously easy to program. I bought a little book from Amazon for about £5 (do a search for PIC and it's the cheap PIC projects one - Maplin normally have it on the shelf too). You've got a couple of options really. You can learn PICBASIC, which is a version of BASIC written for the PIC series of chips. You'll need to buy a copy of the PICBASIC compiler for this though. Alternatively, assembler is more difficult (although still quite easy), but the compilers are available for free. You only need a cheap programmer, which you can buy for less than £20. Maplin had one on offer last month for £15 IIRC.
Cheers,
Andy
