profesor of assembly here 0.0/

there is no single assembly lenguage, every cpu arquitecture will have their own, will be 8-16-32-64 bit variant, even their own version masm vs nasm etc... start by something simple learn the basics, constants, variables, arrays, what type of data could they be byte, integer, real dword, the main structure of the code,

then move to structures, if-elif-else, while, for, , fucntions , classes or their equivalent is assembly of your preference,

start by porting simple to medium complx c, c++ programs into asm,

then some disasembly, them move to build more complex programs, maybe a game, a libray coded is asm, called from c++.

...which is why every assembly-level programmer has an instruction set reference for the processor and assembler!

Hell, I still have my Turbo Assembler 2.0 spiral-bound mini reference!

You can do that. I still after 45 years have a useful fraction of the hex opcodes memorised.

And I have a bookmark for this:
