Brushing up 8080 and Z80 Assembly

I'm about to resume working on my Suite8080 project after putting it aside for a few months. And I bought a Z80 homebrew computer.

To refresh my 8080 Assembly to work on the Suite8080 code, and my Z80 to play with the new computer, I'm rereading the book Z-80 and 8080 Assembly Language Programming by Kathe Spracklen (Hayden Books, 1979).

It's a short, clear resource that includes several worked out exercises. It presents and compares the code samples and concepts in both instruction sets. The book also covers how to implement basic data structures in Assembly, which makes it stand out.
