Yes, all those concepts are foundational for an understanding on how to effectively code in assembly. It just takes time, you'll get there. On Wed, Jan 18, 2017 at 12:09 AM Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Okay, I downloaded this one:
Using 6502 assembly language : how anyone can program the Apple II
https://archive.org/details/Using_6502_Assembly_Language_1982_Datamost
how anyone can program the Apple II
Well that sounds like a winner!
Eh. I skimmed the first chapter (skipping the binary math lesson which I
already understand). There's something about all these books so far
which just makes my eyes glaze over (could it be that low-level
languages require .... patience and hard work? Ack!)
Maybe I ought to stick with BASIC and just extend my knowledge beyond
what I learned in 7th grade. Argument for that perspective: I'm probably
not ready to learn assembly if I haven't even learned PEEK and POKE yet.
