With that said a development board like the EasyPIC series of boards can be nice but they come packed with a lot of features and "settings" that you may not need and that MAY add a bit of confusion when you're getting started (don't let that put you off though, they are really nice boards).
If you get a EasyPIC 7 for example it already contains a programmer so you don't really need anything else but if you decide to go the solderless breadboard route then something like the PICKit3 is a good option.
Since you are here I guess you're going to use PBP as your compiler so you obviously need that as well.
