Which book to pick?

Hi Bart,

Download this free tool.
http://www.httrack.com

HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/free software) and easy-to-use offline browser utility.

It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system.

* * *

With this tool you can "mirror" a tutorial web side in 10 minutes.
Once you have "mirrored" the web site on your local hard disk,
you can then view it offline. (Without modem connection).

The only thing that will stop HTTrack is a phone line problem during the download.
(Don't worry because you can resume interrupted downloads, even after days).

I also prefer books and have both Predko's book
and Pic in practice by David Smith.
Myke Predko is huge book more for people whose
all life is in somehow related to PIC :-)
You will find everything about PIC you will ever
want to know written in most detailed way,
(so it is not easy to read it) but it's definitivly not for
start learning assembler. It's more like some
Pic reference manual.
Pic in practice is great book for learning
assembler, easy written andeasy to follow. Definitivly
the book you are looking for!

Thanks. I'll check out that program to see if my ancient system will run it. I'm still thinking on the books, but it looks like I can eliminate one of them for sure.
