Thomas Kibalo, author of many articles for Nuts & Volts magazine, delivers an outstanding beginners book for the PIC32. Using the low cost Microstick II starter kit with PIC32MX250F128B MCU and the free MPLAB XC32 Compiler, Kibalo makes learning the PIC32 architecture easy. Code examples demonstrate common operations that many applications require. Hardware is shown in simple breadboard setup so even a beginner can build along with very few extra components needed.
