I am a newbie on 6502 programming.

Could anyone introduce some good 6502 tutorials to me?

Thanks very much.

Have you seen this one?
http://nesdev.icequake.net/6502guid.txt

And this doc has some examples of how some instuctions can be used:

There are a lot of 6502 books out there too, you can find some on the 'net or in used bookstores (or libraries, if you're lucky).

I've tried to collect everything I could find to put on my site, but there aren't many tutorials, unfortunately..

We're working on them. There is a Tutorials section on 6502.org that contains information on comparison operations. A primer on programming interrupts by Garth Wilson will soon follow, and others are in the works.

For the 6502 veterans and advanced users: We'd certainly appreciate any tutorials or articles that you would care to contribute.

Regards,
Mike

In my bookshelf I have

MCS6500
MICROCOMPUTER FAMILY
PROGRAMMING MANUAL
Publication Number 6500-50A
from 1976

This the best technical writing that I have ever encountered (all cathegories). This book once made me a microcomputer/6502 enthusiast! Much better then any other tutorial.

But it is probably difficult to find nowadays. And it is on paper! It would be hard work to transform it to electronic form!

Thanks for pointing this out. I look around the website from time to time but never stumbled on this one. (The two are the same thing in different forms.) It's good to know it's there to help others out.

If you're ready to go to the next level, get WDC's programming manual, which also covers the 65816 (as well as the 65c02). You'll be floored by the new possibilities the '816 opens up.
