First I would like to say what a great forum this appears to be.
I am very much a newbie at this. I have a solid background in electrical but limited in electronics and microcontrollers.
I started out with the book "Pic Microcontroller Project Book".
Bought the CDlite, PicBasic compiler and Epic Programmer, and a 16f84.
Got it all working, did all the projects in the book, including a few of my own simple projects.
Then bought "Programming the Pic Microcontroller With PicBasic".
Bought the Melabs Meloader bootloader and a couple 16f876s.
Pretty much thru the book and feel as though PicBasic may not be the language of choice to take my hobby to the next level.
My question, should I upgrade to PBP or should I consider learning another language like assembly or C++.
Any comments would be welcome.
