That, and the gas manual (for some of the pseudo-ops) seem quite adequate. Just read a bit of gcc -S output and you'll pick it up. The only other thing, which gcc doesn't use but is very useful, is the local labels, 0: through 9:, which can be repeated in the source file and referred to with "1b" and "1f" for the next "1:" label backward or forward, respectively. Saves a lot of trouble thinking up label names for trivial jumps.
