First watch: youtube.com/watch?v=cNN_tTXABUA and after that, try reading this: software.intel.com/en-us/articles/introduction-to-x64-assembly. It's a good introduction to assembly-language and it gives you a fast look on the structure or 'basic idea' of what assembly-programming is. What you should try, is reading it while taking notes and whenever you don't understand something, just Google it right away! It's the hard way, but I found out that it's very efficient: dissecting a tutorial in a way you start seeing the 'bigger picture'. If you start getting hold of it, you can also download the full 'Intel manual for developers' on that same page. The first chapters are quite difficult, but if you read that book, you won't miss anything. All details are well explained and there are no 'hidden snakes'. Well, I don't know if this was helpful to you; I hope so! :) Oh, and before I forget: there are small differences in the assembly-syntax between the different CPU's. What I gave you, is written for the Intel CPU's, but I'm sure you noticed that. Well, good luck learning something new!
