Let’s Learn x86-64 Assembly: Part 0 – Setup and First Steps
It's very common for people to learn assembly using x86(-64) but this ISA is so messy, complicated and layered that it always seems like the bad choice to me. It's like teaching an intro programming course using C++, I understand why it's practical but it seems like it will be more trouble than it's worth.I'd probably recommend getting some ARM or ARM64 board and starting with this, most of the concepts will carry over to other assemblies anyway. Writing a simple CPU emulator for some simple architecture and then coding on it can also be a great teaching experience, if a little more involved.I find this tutorial a bit oddly structured too, but that may be because I'm from un*x world and I don't have the Windows mindset. It basically goes from "int3 ret" to "The PE Format and DLL Imports". That seems like quite the jump, and not necessarily super relevant to learning ASM IMO.
