I''m looking for suggestions on a good method to go about teaching myself intel 80x86 assembly language since my college isn''t offering a course(I have a little experience in writing PIC microcontroller assembly language and some basic knowledge of digital logic circuits and boolean algebra so I''m just looking for a good technique to go about my self study since it''s certainly more of an challenge than learning high level languages).

If you already know some assembly, an ok method would be to dig up a x86 opcode reference, like the ones available from intel, and just start looking at C or C++ compiled into assembly. (Non optimized of course.) The Borland C++ compiler is especially nice about embedding the original C/C++ source code as comments in the assembly output.

I'd say your best bet lies at the other end of this address:

Hope this helps.
