As someone else pointed out, the Marist college course is still taught by David.
Here are details on the two sessions coming up: • Basic Assembler Application Programming – November 27, 2023 - February 16, 2024 (10 weeks) - The class teaches students to develop fundamental assembler programming skills. Topics include number systems, machine components, instruction formats, addressing techniques, character manipulation, looping, conditional logic, packed decimal and binary arithmetic, multiple CSECTs, parameter passing, linkage conventions, debugging by hand and with the interactive debugger zXDC, dump reading, and DSECTs. • Advanced Assembler Application Programming – February 26, 2024 – May 11, 2024 (10 weeks) - This class will provide an opportunity to develop z/ OS assembler code that uses tables, lists and linked lists, z/OS units of work such as TCB’s and multitasking, z/OS assembler techniques and services to provide high levels of availability, z/OS assembler instructions and techniques for serialization, z-architecture instructions, z/OS multitasking using non-privileged system services, programs with multiple CSECTs, and re-entrant code. Even though the certificate program has already started (intro to z/os course is going right now), I believe you can register for the two assembler classes individually. We are looking at options at my company, thus this is all top of mind. Good luck in the search.

Yes, that one is by David Woolbright, who is also mentioned on the John Ehrman page at Marist (https://idcp.marist.edu/assembler-resources) and seems to also be free of cost.

Maybe start with Dr. John Erhman's tutorial PDF? Or is that too deep for the student profile? Or are you looking for an actual class (with exercises and tests and suchlike), self-paced or otherwise?

Are there any good online tutorials for unprivileged z/Architecture and HLASM for programmers with no prior assembler experience? Ideally I'd like something faster paced than Programming 101, and several of us will be available as mentors, workload permitting. -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
