How can I do simple stuff with assembly?

Question

I am trying to experiment with assembly (OS independent) by using the following code with bochs on windows machine.

start:
    hlt
times 510-($-start) db 0
dw 0xaa55

This only halts the machine but I wanna start experimenting with simple stuff like Drawing dots on the screen (and coloring them later on), printing messages, loading other assembly or C applications from that simple boot loader. Where can I find help concerning that ? Would you please provide simple examples if there are no decent sources to teach such stuff ?

Take a look at this SOq:

At the bottom of the last page, you have both the PDF and the code.
