Pic Asm Training

[ajc]

Hi...
Can anybody recommened a good, through,
in-depth training course using Microchip Pic
assembly language?? I would prefer some type
of hardcover book or a cd rom.
Is such a thing available anywhere??
In EPE magazine I see ads for Peter Brunnings pic training
material....has anybody here tried this course??
Also at EPE magazine website I see ads for an assembly
language training cd rom. Has anybody tried this??

I'm looking to write assembly code that simulates if-else
statements,while statements, do-while statements,switch
statements,loop within a loop,within a loop statements,down
count with test, upcount with test, etc. etc. etc.

I have used both Bytecraft and CCS "C" compiliers,
(for pics) and no real complaints with either. I simply would
like to become much more proficient with pic
assembly language.

Thanks for your time.

The book "Programming & Customizing PICmicro Microcontrollers" is a very common book for getting started; it's got a lot of good info on the PIC architecture, all the instructions, and lots of example code/projects.

Nigel Goodwin's online tutorials over at http://winpicprog.co.uk/pic_tutorial.htm are also an extremely popular recommendation around here, and he's always around on the forum if you have questions.

Thanks for the help and suggestions
appreciate it.

Myke P. knows exactly what he is talking
about....but.....
I do have that book, but I find some
of his code very hard to understand.

For instance: He has tried to explain
how to calculate a percentage of a number,
he devoted a few pages to it....from the way
he explains it....I was lost.

I think I will take another look at Nigels
tutorials.

Thanks
