   Learn to program with Assembly by Jonathan Bartlett is what you’re looking for. I read the previous version and it was great.

   Just go read "Learn to Program with Assembly: Foundational Learning for New Programmers", it's modern (x64), beginner friendly, and well written in my opinion.

   This is a really cool little example. I've been teaching myself assembly recently and have found Learn to Program with Assembly (2021) [0] by Johnathan Bartlett to be really valuable. I had initially looked through his freely available book Programming From the Ground Up (2003) [1], which covers x86 assembly, and ended up buying the updated book after finding the old one to be well written but out of date. I've been programming in C for a long time and it's been very cool to dig a little deeper and understand better what's really going on under the hood.

   I thought you all would be interested in my latest book, "Learn to Program with Assembly". This is a 64-bit rewrite of my previous assembly language book, "Programming from the Ground Up."
