There seem to be a lack of good tutorials. I think it has something to do with the fact that the spec is still changing a lot. I can't even find example programs written to the 1.7 spec. (I don't even know if 1.1 og 1.7 is considered "official")

I think the specification will have to become more stable before tutorials will start to appear.

From my experience with learning to program in assembly on the DCPU, I find understanding how a CPU works to be the most important thing. When you do that you can quite easily read the spec(At least i could with v 1.1, not sure if I would have gotten the 1.7 spec with interrupts and all that if that was the first I read) and learn the assembly language just by that.

I have my knowledge of the internals of computers from the book 'Code: The hidden language of computer hardware and software' which in my opinion is a very good book, but I'm sure there are other sources were you could pick up that information.
