Look at other people's code, try to follow the comments within. That's
the main reason for the echo's Snippets collection, to teach others by
way of example. You'll need some books though, no real way around it.
I have several books, the one bound with duct tape is probably the one
that gets used the most. It's called 'Using Assembly Language' and the
author is Wyatt. The ISBN of the 2nd edition is 0-88022-46 and sold for
$30. It's probably into a third editon by now. 
There are "online" text files that are pretty good, but nothing replaces
a textbook next to the keyboard.  :-)
