PIC s chippt things

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/PIC s chippt things

Alright,

it's a little while since I left high school (errmm 20 years) - I'm interested in peoples views with regards to peripheral interface controllers. There is various avenues to program them, in essence (okay some might see this as going too far) but I see them as potentially as revolutionary as the transistor way back, but are people are being exposed to them only on specialised courses ? Is this a good thing ?

I don't mind admitting I was employed in a electronic background in the first instance.

I think that there may be the capacity to ignite young minds with PIC s after the inital 4 year high school study period, does anybody else think the same ?
