Hello,
PIC means "Programable Integrated Circuit", and all PICs, and most
microcontrollers (8051,Scenix,Motorola) are based on the RISC architecture,
because it uses a Reduce Instrucction Set.

So to understand this PIC concept better...If I needed to program in assemly
or machine code PICs are not what I am looking for?

Contrar!=)
PICs are exactly what you want to use if you want to use Assembly and
Machine code. That is one of the reasons I'm looking at the stamp I
know Basic I don't know Assembly.
