help with getting started writing codes for 12f683

[Fareham dave]

ok so it has been quite a while since there was any active coders on here as they have all been put off by people selling there codes on ebay. I wanna give something back to the acidmods community now so i am looking into learning to write code. If anybody could point me in the direction of some good software to start with and a good guide that is easy to follow then i will do my best to get some new stuff out there for everybody. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Have to say that I am in the same boat at getting one foot on the ladder learning PIC coding. I'm not looking at selling on ebay but make my own custom controllers. But trying to find a decent site that has coders that are helpful seem few and far between.

Maybe I am using the wrong search queries.

All the same,  I just want to learn again as I haven't been able to do much since the 90's (due to an accident). I have electronics and programming in my past but I have forgotten most of it.

Oh and I am partially colour blind and the verification thingy is a real pain to read. Have to use the audio and it takes ages to arrive.

Assembly is weird, I like my C++ and Java 

But I may very soon go deeper into understanding the logic and syntax for using processor instructions.

There is a lot of sample code on the internet to browse, along with tutorials and explanations.  It's a bit too much for me to want to all comprehend atm, I'm perfectly content using other people's code if it does the job.

A good place to get started is here:

I learned a lot from that site even though I'm a pure PIC programmer.

AVR is very similar. I would have to say easier then PIC to get started. Something even easier is Arduino. Once you learn the basics then move on to PIC.

But of course if you want to dive right in something like this may help:

Anything else, just let me know.
