Another good one for learning is the 6502. Don't forget to buy a copy of Lance A. Leventhal's "6502 Assembly Language Programming". Great book for learning not only assembly, but also the fundamentals leading up to assembly.
on “Learning to Read X86 Assembly Language” ↗6502 Assembly Language Programming by Leventhal. This is how I learned. This book is great. I have the worn paper copy sitting 6 feet behind me as I type this. It's worth getting a paper copy if that is still possible. https://archive.org/details/6502-assembly-language-programmi...
on “Ask HN: Books to learn 6502 ASM and the Apple II” ↗I have seen the topic a bit late, but nevertheless: I have learned 6502 assembler (and assembler) in general with "6502 assembly language programming by Lance A. Leventhal" (1979) [1] and "Apple Machine Language by Don Inman & Kurt Inman" (1981) [2] For the 'internals' of the machine, I had "What's Where in the Apple: A Complete Guide to the Apple…

I thought the latter book was very good, just like his Norton Utilities and other software. I did a fair amount of hobby 6502 assembly language programming on the Commodore 64, and a bit on the BBC Micro. The Beeb had a cool inline assembly feature, using which you could write 6502 assembly code inline in the middle of your BBC BASIC code, just by wrapping…
