Yes you need something to flash the program to the chip. I use one of the PICKIT devices genuine ones are getting a bit pricey, but you can get a Chinese knock-off which will probably work just as well.
The help and demonstration files that come with GCBasic are much better than they once were and are probably sufficient.
Often text books go into much more detail than is necessary - there are some things that you really don't need to know to program a microprocessor successfully. You just type in BASIC code and GCBasic will convert it to ASM then to HEX instructions and flash it on the chip.
