Assembly Step-by-step

Damn good book, thats what I taught myself with, explains it from the very basics, through 16bit DOS assembly and an 
intro to doing Linux stylee, highly recommended for first timers

I spent a lot of time writing C programs/disassembling/figuring out what
happened.  How does it handle various loops or conditionals or function
calls or other stuff.  I had an assembly book I used as a reference (Art of
Assembly), but I did most of my learning from writing my own programs.

Must more recently, I also got a book called "Hacker Disassembling
Uncovered".  It assumes some understanding of assembly, and it goes over a
lot of the common protection mechanisms.

Another book I enjoyed was "Hacking: Art of Exploitation".  Half of the
chapter was dedicated to hacking software for buffer overflows, heap-based
overflows, and other common exploits.  It is based in C/Linux, not assembly,
but if you want to learn about what to look for, it's definitely a good
start.

Anyone know any good Assembly Language tutorials or books? Any
resources at all would help. I'm trying to learn a little about
disassembly and finding security holes/buffer overflows in programs.
I'm not really a programmer, so the simpler the better. Thanks.
