An easy method to start with PICs is by following some tutorials that will show you all the basics you have to know. Some well explained tutorials can be found e.g. at **broken link removed**. They use the standard language C and the integrated programming environment MPLAB from microchip, easy to start with.
you will need to take a decision which programming language you will use, you have the option to use assembly, C, BASIC.
you will need a compiler and IDE to use, there are free compilers and IDE's available online.
i recommend for you as a beginner to use MikroC or MikroBASIC IDE and compiler from Mikroelektronika, demo version is free on the website of Mikroelektronika, also you will need a programmer, it is a device used to download your code on the PIC, check for PICkit 2 or ICD 2.
also you have the option to use MPLAB IDE, it is for free from Microchip official website.
good luck.
