The thread started with Roger posting an assembly program for a bubble 
sort. I posted a Basic equivalent for comparison which really was needed 
for beginning programmers to see the differences in high and low level 
languages.

The best way to learn assembly in my opinion is to be given a task 
either in psuedo code or Basic and be told to convert it to assembly 
code. At each point where the student gets stuck, a "what now" questions 
should be posted. The answers should be just enough to get the student 
to the next "what now".

Having a complete assembly program dropped in your lap will probably not 
result in the best learning experience.
