A sample instruction set:

I never really needed a book to learn assembly. You just need to learn the instruction sets to be able to program. I guess there are good books out there to write "good/efficient assembly code". I am sure they are valuable to the people that do assembly programming professionally. But, the use of "strict" assembly programming is going down by the day IMO. Even with embedded programming - where traditionally u expect assembly to dominate. I saw some statistics that say C has taken over more or less.

Tell us if you need any more help.

If you are a windows user, id recommend downloading cygwin - i found programming/compiling assembly under windows a chore and would recommend finding yourself a linux machine if poss.

nasmw = compiler for windows
nasm = compiler for linux

been a while since i did any, but for some reason it is strangely rewarding to write thousands of lines of code to do a very simple operation. If you need more help let us know - i wouldnt mind refreshing my knowledge.
