https://computersystemsbook.com/ If anyone is interested in learning assembly, this was the book and simulator I used as an undergrad. It's not exactly bytecode that will run on an actual processor but it will help you understand the bare metal things a CPU has to do in order to actually operate upon data and it's kinda eye opening when compared to what modern coding is actually like nowadays. | ||

I’ll always recommend Ben Eater’s YouTube series - one where he constructs a CPU and then one where he builds a working system around a 6502. Full of amazing insights into the things that a computer has to do just to accomplish the simplest tasks. And if you work your way up from the very bottom you have such an appreciation for why 6502 assembly language is the way it is when it’s introduced. | ||
