First you learn the instruction set, then you learn how the assembler lets
you express that instruction set in the source code.  There are probably
books out there that cover the general concepts, but I've never read any of
them.  If you're interested in dsPICs, start with the dsPIC Programmer's
Reference Guide.

It's a lot easier now with the internet and access to computers basically
free.  I learned my first machine language as a junior in high school in
1973 from the DEC Small Computers Handbook and the "orange" book.  The
machine was a PDP-8, which is sortof like a PIC 12F in a rack mounted box
with toggle switches to load the program in.  There was nobody around I
could ask either.  Fortunately the documentation today about PICs is just as
good as the documentation on a PDP-8 was back then.  Just dig in.
