It ain't bartending school.
It would be a good idea to get a good grounding in 6502 assembly
by programming a bit for a microcomputer, like the C64 or the Apple.
The Apple has a built-in ML monitor, even. That way when you want to
tame the TIA, you have one less thing to worry about having to learn.
It also helps to have a print reference of some kind for when you're
confused on a certain point.
Luckily, there's not much to the 6502. Three registers and only a
handful of opcodes that all pretty much work the same.
And you have to understand both binary and hexadecimal.
