The first video in Photon of Scoopex's Amiga hardware programming series. It shows how to set up an assembler and write a minimal 68000 program that waits for a left mouse click.
Recommended as an approachable start to Amiga demo and 68000 assembly programming.

If you think that article is awesome, you should fasten your seatbelts and check out this video tutorials by Photon of Scoopex (Demo Group). this video
Reading this made me (very) sorely miss my A1200, which I used as my daily driver all the way up to 2003. I was shocked at how much difference in speed a 4MB Fast RAM expansion and 68881 FPU made. You might like Photon of Scoopex's Amiga Hardware Programming tutorial[1], in which he creates an Amiga Demo using assembly from scratch in ASMOne/ASMTwo [1] this video
I think the opposite is true because those machines were built around assembly programming. The hardware was essentially the software development framework. Check out this assembly programming series, it's less assembly code on the Amiga to get something on screen or getting mouse/keyboard input than with highlevel languages and APIs/frameworks today: this video
Scoopex has a video series of Amiga demo programming starting all the way from the basics of using an assembler: this video I would have killed for this back when I had an A500. It seemed like dark magic and all I could find was a book on ASM game programming tricks, which was too advanced for me.
I found this Amiga Hardware Programming playlist by "Photon of Scoopex" quite nice (I was actually expecting that it's this one), it also jumps right into action by writing a little 'wait-for-left-mouse-button' 3-liner: this video
