Best way to learn Assembly Language outside of school?

I've learned a number of languages such as C++, Java, C++ and some others and feel like I'm ready to learn assembly so I can fully understand everything. It's the closest thing I'm going to have to the hardware other than binary. But what is the best medium for learning Assembly without enrolling in a college course? I usually use YouTube to get me started then read about the details.

Believe it or not, YouTube has a very good set of tutorials on Assembly language.

Try this guy: YouTube Channel On ASM Tutorials

(Disclaimer: No, I don't know him, and it's not my channel, etc.)

My suggestion: Start with his "Practical x64 Assembly and C++ Tutorials"

There are others as well. I chose this guy because I can understand his dalect of English when he speaks into the microphone.

I hope others will post more links if they find others.

If u wanna learn assembly for more understanding of the programming,just open the disassembly window in your IDE and see how programs u have written in C and C++ transformed into assembly language. It's common way in reverse engineering and i find it interesting. Firstly,u got to understand the computer hardware structure and how it works and then after that assembly language becomes easy for u.

My suggestion is to learn Assembler by programming Atari 2600 games. It's a fun exercise that will teach you a lot. Download an emulator like Stella, spend a few hours with the documentation, and it's pretty easy to get started with basic stuff like creating and moving sprites.

This page has everything you need to get started.

You get a lot of practice working in a very constrained programming environment (128 bytes of RAM!), so you're forced to do a lot of thinking. Even once you've picked up enough to look at and understand others' source code, you'll learn a lot by seeing how others have ingeniously solved these problems.

Have fun!
