I am a final year student and am going to use a PIC device for my project, so am getting familiar with it early.
-
I will be using MPLAB X IDE to program the PIC. How is the code actually downloaded onto the microcontroller? I have read that the 'PIC KIT 3' programmer/debugger is the easiest.
-
With the PIC KIT 3, is it possible to debug online in real time and see the status of I/O pins and registers etc?
-
What other methods are available to program a PIC?

The PICKit3 is a little bit old as @Marcus already mentioned and not really recommended. If you are looking for a easy, fast and also cheap debugger/programmer have a look at the MPLAB Snap.
