I’ve had the idea to try and learn how to Program 6502 Assembly for my Commodore PET, but I’m a little lost on what the best source is on learning this stuff, especially for a beginner who is yet unfamiliar with its full Architecture and Quirks!
Thus far I’ve tried looking at Books from the PETs Period, but those do expect quite a bit of pre-knowledge in Computing, which for me includes a tiny bit of Python and Commodore Basic…
This project is mostly about building a 6502 but the later videos are more about programming it
Wow, what a place to start!
I remember reading thru Apple II Assembly by Hyde or something. It’s been a while, and I didn’t have the brain power back then (now I do, but not the time). I remember it got some funky illustration making the book quite a fun one to go thru.
It’s a bit off the mark, but I’ll mention the Nybbles and Bytes youtube videos because I think they’re pretty neat.

The Internet Archive has tons of old scanned books on the subject. Computers were new to a LOT of people at the time most of these were published, so they usually assume minimal knowledge.
