The S in RISC does not stand for simple. What the? If someone's going to write about assembly programming, they should at least know what CISC and RISK are.
I'm not saying 6502 assembly can't be an interesting endeavor, but it's a bit restrictive for a first language. Maybe if you already know some low-level programming like C. But it's still easier to do things with a few more registers. And it's not like you have to use every register and instruction available on the CPU to write some assembly.
