Assembly is a tough one. Frankly, there never were any really top-notch
beginner  assembly books for the Apple IIGS, mostly because Apple IIGS
assembly programmers were Apple II assembly programmers, and they wanted
intermediate or advanced books. Of those, the Eyes-Lichty books are my
favorites, but you'll have to find them used.

You can use pretty much any ANSI C book with ORCA/C. We also have two that
are Apple IIGS specific, and you can get bundled deals when you buy either
with the compiler. One is Learn to Program in C, which is a beginning C
book; the other is Toolbox Programming in C, which is an intermediate book
written for people who already know C well enough to handle pointers and
structs and who want to learn to write desktop programs.
