Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but I read this book a few
years ago:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pgubook/

It's now available under the GNU FDL (although I think a print edition
is still available). It covers basic programming using assembler and
picks apart classic examples like "Hello World" at the instruction
level.
