Ok, I want to learn ASM, but I don't know which tutorial is best.
So, my questions are:
1)What tutorial should I use

2)Does anyone want to learn with me(We could help eachother)?

3)What is Pi out to 2.3 trillion digits?

http://nwps.ws/~dragonfire/Asmin28/lesson/toc.html <- awesome

You could always ask for help if you want.

Edit: like I said to PoisonV before, I'm happy to help when I'm around.

ASM in 28 days I do not think has a good interface it was very hard to follow for me

the problem with most guides out there is that it's not even tutorials at all, its just meant for reference, you cant learn asm with asm in 28 days you have to read other people code, have other teach you or learn on your own

Yeah, I am mostly taking a shot in the dark jumping into ASM but I have many sites of reference. I am able to do basic things currently, but I am lacking some of the fundamentals (which is very important).

I think the way to go is basic to xbasic(xlib+basic) and then go to ASM. Cause from my own experience trying to go from basic to ASM was bad because I had no idea what sprites were why you need them and why I couldn't just use lines to display my stuff, but after doing xbasic for quite a while I understand it more while moving to ASM. I have also took the time out to look at some books on hex and binary and that has helped me with my transition also. That's just the way I think a person should go.

You don't need basic to understand ASM. However, you may want to know C to understand ASM.

btw, z80 ASM was really my first language. I did know ideas of program control and flow because I knew a bit of basic, but that's about it. Ideas about program flow and control. Because ASM can do things that the mind can not comprehend. There are some algorithms that ASM can do that you can't simply express in a higher language. That said, ASM is more powerful, but you can shoot yourself in the foot more easily than in C.

That's just my opinion of course. If you need help, just give a post.

Use Spasm and Wabbit from revsoft. They are the fastest and most powerful tools available.
