Yeah, except personally I did try ASM several times and learned for a while back then and I just wouldn't get anything past Day 2 (except the definitions of XOR/OR/AND/Overwrite)

Sigma, although definitely thorough, definitely puts in more information than you need, overcomplicating things.  It'll be alot easier learning from multiple tutorials and piecing the ideas together from multiple sources.

Well, the thing is that his tutorial is not made for visual people, same for many others. The examples of programs provided in it are totally pointless and do nothing useful. It would maybe be better to include some that does something

I know what you mean.  I also tried to learn asm a while back, but decided i liked coding on calc due to portability (and no, slow basic assemblers don't count :P) but the 28 day tutorial was really confusing in the beginning x.x.  I think i managed to get a piece of text that you could move around the screen, but it had all the speed of basic and crashed horribly when you went outside the borders :) oh well.

You are making me to try to do a more comprehensive guide. :-\
Although I have a tendency to complicate and write some strange phrases...

There is few things (instructions and such) to learn in assembly. How to do stuff can be learnt from experience on solving them and learning from others.

The difficult part is implement things without doing some mistake. And discovering what was the mistake can be hard... >_<"

I went upto day 2 and stopped.... lol also same thing with C++ I went to day 7? and stopped also. I don't have too much time on computer now that I am so busy doing college applications and such, and I code during math/science and in bus

On-calc programming is one thing I love a lot from TI-BASIC

BBC Basic also have on calc programming, but the editor is apparently a pain to use. Apparently it's almost as annoying as trying to edit a BASIC program by using Celtic III commands from the home screen one by one

Yes I tried BBC code, but first of all it really was annoying coding that thing, and second the manual was too confusing, especially the graphic part.

Mhmm, if he did, then I didn't know. Did he made one himself or just cracked it? If he did the later, then I guess we can't post it here :( (against 1and1 rules to post links to illegal content)

I think it was his own. (I remember trying (and failing) to run it, but I'm not sure whether that was the compiler or the packager, whatever...)

EDIT: It is. I checked. (at least it's not Microsoft's)
