I second what Ernie suggests, although I started with a PICkit 3. They come with tutorials, sample programs, pretty much everything you need to get started as long as you follow it step-by-step.

I wish there was a "just read these two sentences and you'll learn PIC programming" solution, but it's a very in-depth subject to be asking such a general question. Start with a PICkit and as questions come up while you're working through the tutorials, ask here.

Just in case you want to spend a little more cash :p

Uncle Google is also a good resource.

I agree with jwilk13's recommendation (alternate link here) as it gets you started in working in C with these devices, and that is much more efficient to assembler (which the PicKit2 version uses). However, the PIC18F45k20 microcontroller with it a pretty complex device and my personal recommendation is to start with a simpler code, a 16 series or lower.

Hey, you can only gain experience from where you are. Either one is a good choice.
