Machine-code is best learned gradually, I think - by studying small code-fragments written by other people and making minor adjustments. It's important to write a small amount of code at a time and test it thoroughly, as even tiny mistakes can easily result in overwriting random chunks of memory, or crashing.
Annotated machine-code samples can be found in the documentation for my Jet Set Willy games Jet Set Willy: The Lord of the Rings, Goodnite Luddite and Party Willy, and Manic Miner: Neighbours - Allana Truman.
