The following is a list of freely available online resources to help with learning 80x86 assembly language programming.
| Reference | Notes |
|---|---|
| AMD64 Architecture Tech Docs | AMD's current Programmer's Reference Manuals |
| ASM Community | A community for learning assembly language |
| FASM Programmer's Manual | Includes information on most instructions |
| Intel's 80386 Programmer's Reference Manual (converted to HTML) | Similar to Intel's current Programmer's Reference Manual, but easier for beginners as it lacks all the features introduced in newer CPUs that can increase confusion |
| Intel's Current Programmer's Reference Manuals | |
| Ketman Assembly Language Tutorial | An interesting looking 8086 interpreter originally intended for learning 8086 assembly (so you can see exactly what effect each instruction has on the CPU) that includes a tutorial |
| PC Assembly Tutorial | Uses NASM, mostly covers 32-bit protected mode assembly only |
| Programming from the Ground Up Book | This is an introductory book to programming and computer science using assembly language. |
| The Art of Assembly Language | A good reference. Considered a little controversial by some people, as the author attempts to teach assembly language by teaching a completely different language (called HLA) first in an attempt to ease the transition from high level languages to assembly. |
