Hmmm depends on several things!  If you can program in C I would recommend
you the "Amiga ROM Kernal - Libraries & Devices" (Commodore / Addison Wesley)
though the basics of intuition should be understandable.  You could try
the Abacus book "Amiga Machine Language" I think there are some examples
and explanations about intution.  You should remember one thing, making a
little mistake in your ASM programs is EASY, and intuition are likely to
crash just of VERY small mistakes... so take a good advice, look your programs
through an extra time, you'll probably find some bugs!

Any ASM programmer with respect of himself, has made a program which opens
a standard intuition screen/windown (exclude all the hardware-hackers shame
on them!).
