I have decided to beggin with PIC16F84 because it has a lot of documentation and references.
I need to build and interface between the PIC and the RS-232 connector -I have downloaded some schematics from the web.
and I know I need a software to download the program to the PIC.
is there a connection between the board I build and the software I use ?
do I need to use a paticular hardware to a particular software,or I can use any hardware for any software?
You might want to consider using 16f628 as these are now largely replacing the older 16f84s. They are cheaper, twice as much memory and hardware serial port, plus more clock options. Other than this, they are pretty much the same, including pinout. Most cases a drop in replacement, with minor sw changes.
Good u can take up 16f84a or 16f628.
U can try even 16f72 or f73.
As far as documentation is concerned lots of infor is available for PIC over the internet.
U can have a full fledged programmer from
www.picallw.com there the schematics and the software is free.
Try and enjoy programming

well ic-prog is a good program i guess.
the pins of the pic u are giving the information or taking the information is important.u should search how to connect them.so the program u will use will just take or pump the information from r software.lke it can be mscomm in vb,or any other component in delphi or vc++...
