I guess many in the forum know about the "Compiled Tips N Tricks Guide" That is free documents full of golden nuggets for the PIC user. It will help you get most out of your 8 bit PIC MCU. It explain the the different methods and tricks in detail. Rather than giving program examples. So it will be very helpful to all who use PIC MCUs. It is about 137 pages long. If you have not read it yet. Give it a try. Ideal for students

A programmer is useless, unless he/she are able to utelize the power of the availible tools. And herby be able to debug and simulate code. The hobbyist may not have accsess to fancy (and expensive) hardware debugging tools. But the fact is that many errors can be tracked down with the software simulator tool named MPLAB SIM.
Microchip do have something named Webseminars. The are located here http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=2795 Sorry to say but the selection menue is very awkward to use and select from. I have compiled a list. That I think will be useful for the MPLAB novice. The list include both using MPLAB and debugging. Start on top of the list and work yourself downwards. My last tips for the beginner. Then you are starting on a new project. Always use the project wizard in MPLAB. Never program without confering with the datasheet. Keep attention to details.
