One last PIC question

Hey is there like a general development board that i can use to program the pic. Then use the pic in a stand alone project. Then use another pic on that development board. I guess what i mean is if u can pop in the chip program it and pop it out? And is there like a universal development board for a variety of pics?
thanks
no more stupid questions from me for a whole
Wood pitches on sunday

you just need a pic programmer
Nigel's site contains scematics to make one, or you can buy one as a kit
