If you have never programmed before we intend to teach you how to write programs for the PICmicro in C by adopting the following approach:

Introduce you to the course as a whole
Teach you C
Teach you what a PICmicro is
Teach you how to write C for PICmicros

Make sure that you understand each section before moving on to the next. Try all the exercises and observe carefully the behaviour of the VPIC when it runs the C programs. Then move on to the exercises, in the sequence they are given.

If you have programmed the PIC before, but not in C, you should read the "Programming" and "C Programming" sections and then move on to "Compiling and Running C Programs" followed by the exercises..

If you have programmed in C but are unfamiliar with the PIC you should start the course at the "PICmicro reference" section and work your way through from there.

If you have a specific program to write you should look in the resources section at the end in the "Code Toolbox" and "Lab Index" sections. These will point you to sample code that you can cut and paste to make up your solution.
