    Is there a specific reason you are trying to learn assembly? 8086 assembly is for home user computers and is NOT compatible with mainframe assembly which is where the $$$ is in. There are very few people out there that actually know assembly language and there are no books that I am aware of for main frame assembly.

    I had an instructor in college that was one of the only people in the united states qualified to teach it, there are few people that understand it well enough. I had one term of it and trust me when I say, it is much easier to code in higher languages such as C or C++ than assembly.

    Unless you have a specific reason for learning, I would go with a higher level language. To learn main frame assembly you will need to attend a college computer science program and make sure they actually teach assembly. That is only way I know of to learn it.

    It means if you go any lower you'll be coding with magnets.

    There is loads more technical stuff on wikipedia:
