I learned ASM by getting books from a local library. These books were from the
late eighties (only dealing with 8086-ASM) but you definitly get the idea...
If you want to code some routines only, you don't really need to know
everything 'bout protected mode and 32 bits... For some tutorials/references
on the web check out ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/msdos/programming - this is the
largest archive on DOS and games programming I've ever seen. If you want to
use DJGPP's assembler, you also need to learn the AT&T syntax (the standard is
of course Intel syntax). As an alternative, check out NASM (also free, sorry I
don't have an URL right now).
