As someone who spends a _lot_ of time thinking about, writing about, and teaching different facets of technical writing (in its broadest sense), I can confirm the following: there are hundreds of thousands of books written about the 6502 architecture and Assembly programming. I can also confirm that these books--as well as most websites--tend to approach the subject from a "writerly" position rather than a reader-centered one; that is, it's written for engineers and computer scientists who have already spent a lot of time and money understanding the theory, learning the jargon, and training themselves to be able to do things by muscle memory. That's great for established engineers, mathemeticians, computer scientists and the like, as well as those who can afford to dedicate years of their lives (and again, gobs of $$$) to obtain a degree that qualifies them as entry level in the field. It is not so great, however, for beginners, hobbyists, or those trying to study it from a non-engineering theoretical perspective. That is, at least, part of the gap I am hoping to fill.
That said, I myself would have failed quite readily without at least a few key texts and websites, and it would be remiss to not list them here. That said, if you're committed to learning this, there is no good replacement to sitting down, typing out a listing from a book, compiling and then trying to figure out what the hell you just did--or what you did wrong! There is no doing without learning, and there is no learning without doing; but maybe these can help.
