For learning PicBasicPro as you posted in the chat box. I do not think that there are any good books to learn from.
But you can work through the examples here
http://melabs.com/samples/index.htm
and here
http://rentron.com/PicBasic1.htm
http://rentron.com/pic.htm
and the wiki on this forum has many examples and projects.

If you get stuck post a question, if we can help we will.

Midi sends at 31250 baud rate. Picbasic is not fast enough at 4mHz. You would have to use asembler.
I have decoded my Midi controller keyboard with a PIC16F628 at 16mHz using the built in uart.
You have to use fast osc to get the baud rate acurate enough.
