by the way there is fresh updated version of amiblitz3 (succesor of blitz basic 2) maintained by some german devs on this site:
http://amiblitz3.amiforce.de/
u can download it for free.

unfortunatelly the site is all in german:-(, (otherwise it would maybe cought some more attention already)

there is also dedicated forum on
http://www.amiforce.de/main.php
u can sure count on help from the devs themselves if you speak up there. but ab3 comes already with nice bunch of docs, examples and includes itself.

Hi,

I started learning 68K ASM in June of this year. I have picked it up very easily, thanks to these books:

Amiga Machine Language, published by Abacus, ISBN 1-55755-025-5

Amiga Hardware Reference Manual (from 1989), ISBN 0-201-18157-6


The former helped me quickly learn ASM, but it's index and command index at the back of the book are appaling :(  Commands such a Dbra I learned from an experienced coder as they don't seem to be mentioned in the book!

The later is an excellent guide to the hardware, whether you just want it for technical knowledge or simply to locate the registers and find out how to use them.


Sorry, not selling either books as I need them. I am currently coding my own AMOS Basic commands in ASM. Yes, AMOS can also be used to intergrate ASM whether in AMOS Banks or as your own commands which can be used by others :)
I'm certainly not a pro at ASM, but I am slowly learning how to optimise my code :)


Regards,
Lonewolf10

One way I started Assembler was by looking at old Amiga disk mags, they have tutorials.
