[atari7800] If you had never programmed anything ...?

OK - here's a dilemma that I have. I imagine there are some other lurkers on the list that feel the same way, so I'll speak up.

I've never programmed ANYTHING except in BASIC on some computers (Co Co, Atari 8-bit, PC, Mac). I'd love to learn more about HOW to do things on the 7800, especially now that the Cuttle Cart exists, but have no idea where to begin. All this talk about cycles and DMA's and the like are a bit odd for a novice who's curious.

Here's a question for the people who learned how to do this by fiddling ... where did you begin?
