In 2000 I did software engineering as part of a degree course.
We had to use Pascal !
It came in handy as my next project was using Delphi which is Pascal based.
Re Nigelwright7557 Yes Pascal used to be the language of choice for learning so called structured programming.Still has a following!! Ilearned it in 1990-1991,Did a few AI progs with it. Found it awkward and slow to type bit like C.All those curly braces ugh!!!!
I have earlier used C to program Atmel uCs (AVR). However since Python is increasing in popularity, maybe one should consider this language also for embedded applications. But I myself have'ent tried it. See e.g:
EmbeddedPython - Python Wiki
EmbeddedPython - Python Wiki
On refletion perhaps I ought to reitterate embeded is not the same as on a PC where we have Apple Microsoft and Linux to fill in the gaps as it where.
A simple project to start with like a LED and a switch.
Once you get past the basics you can start thinking about timers, UARTs, A2D etc etc
The PIC is pretty good as you get MPLAB X IDE free of charge.
Tha thas free assembler and C compiler.
And later on you can try MPLAB Harmony and USB interfaces.

Must admit I Ignored PICs as they were underpowered when I looked at them.Bet its a different story now !!.
