Uh, well, if you're learning assembler from the get

that's precisely how many gurus did it, but us kids
tended to be lazier or what have you.
Actually, assembly was a step up. I started by programming machine
language. The sad thing is that architectures are far less varied
than they were 30-40 years ago. Maybe that's a good thing; maybe
not.
I note that Jeff Duntemann's got a book out called "Step by Step
Assembly". I'm not familiar with it, but do know Jeff's style of
writing from his DDJ articles. He's got a nice folksy feel to his
prose so the assembly book might be good.
