Assembly language

Ok, starting on the level. I'm a newbie at programming. I used to learn Visual Basic (shit sucks I know, please don't kill me it was school mandatory), very little C# on my own, but then I dropped programming but installing Linux has rekindled my love of programming and I'm currently diddling with Python and C.

I do how ever want to learn assembly, or at least try it out but I read something about there being a lot of different types of assembly languages.

Fuck? As if assembly isn't hard enough already. so /g/, I assume there are some people here who know a shit load about this, what's the best place to start?

Learn a simpler assembly language first (6502, Z80, etc.). I did this by doing a bunch of assembly hacks with NES games. From there head to higher level ones. Myself, I went to PPC assembly, because I had a use for it. I just had to learn a couple totally new mnemonics, and a few other things and I got it down pretty quickly. I am currently in the process of learning ARM assembly, which is definitely easier than PPC, and that probably should be your next step after the easy one. From there go ahead and learn x86, or whatever. Or you could just ignore all my advice and go straight for x86.

tl;dr: Learn 6502, learn ARM, learn x86, ????, PROFIT!!!!
