When I was 18 and decided to first try programming, I picked assembly to start with since I had read somewhere that all other languages could themselves be written in terms of assembly. The book I learned assembly from was Randy Hyde's online version of his textbook Art of Assembly. I used the DOS version, because I didn't know what Unix even was at that time; but here's the newest Linux version: http://homepage.mac.com/randyhyde/webster.cs.ucr.edu/www.art...

Like other commentors, K&R would be my best recommendation for the second book. You might as well start off on the right path towards enlightenment.

Not trying to rub you the wrong way but I'm not interested in learning HLA, which is what AoA covers, purely LLA.

Thanks!

You are exactly right even though Randy won't like you (or me) saying that.
