Tutorial for programming PICs in C

[ghidu]

I have few PIC16F84 around and I want to learn to program them. Since I know C (a little assembler) I thought it could be a good language to start. Is there a good tutorial in C?

What software/hardware are you using to program these PIC's?
I am starting to program PICs as well. I use MPLab, you can download the program for free from the Microchip website. I don't really know how to program PICs other than using the assembly language though.

Although I know to write simple PIC programs in assembler I'd like to learn to program in C. For assembler I used mplab and a programmer I made myself. I saw some C books but they are ~100$.
