I was wondering is there any specifically good books for learning assembly, i found some webpages but most have incomplete tutorials or talk to me like I'm a rocket scientist lol, you must triangulate the factors of the primes while cubeing the denominator buy the exponent....WHA  :o?!?!

I have checked Amazon's top book listings for such books as teaching yourself C++...i was not impressed, one of their top ones, at least it was one not sure if it still is, was one of the Sam's Learn (language) in 21days/24hours -- and i was deeply dissappointed at the book.

But anyways what are some good assembly language sites/books to get?

Perhaps a sticky could be made with all the useful links.

The colors on the seconds one make me want to gouge my eyes out.

I learned a lot by writing programs in C or C++ then debugging and looking at the disassembly to get an idea of what a for loop does, how an if works, how function calls work, etc.

Incidentally, here's a good link for asm info:
http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~cs222/Documents/index.html
(note that that won't always be there, and that info is about 68k and SPARC architectures)
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

Learn how computers work, it makes learning programming so much easier.

that's what half of the assembly class I'm taking is about and it really is the way to go :)

Start by learning how a multi-cycle MIPS CPU works.  I did so a couple days ago, and it involved crayons and sugar:

Haha, crayons.  I love it.

We were at a restaurant lacking supplies.  Luckly, they have crayons for the kiddies :)
