Technoplaza and Ti-Chess team have great tutorials. You could also buy a book on programming computer C to get a general idea of C programming, but it's not as helpful as reading through the entire TIGCC help guide. It is very thorough is explaining what each of it's library functions are and how they work.

I wonder why I program z80 Assembly for 83+ when the only calc I have is an 89 Ti?

From what I've heard, it's pretty easy to make your screen turn blue. And that will wreck it if left on too long. Even a small asm program mistake can cause that, without warning.
...not to scare you away from programming, or anything. Emulators work pretty well. I just got PTI working, and it's fine for testing programs. And if you're testing a program and the screen goes blue, you can just turn it off or remove the batteries. It won't cause damage for a few minutes, so as long as you watch it, you're safe.

@Loki: So, you are planning to program for the 68k calcs? You can write C for z80 calcs, but it is not very efficient or fast.

wonder, but don't stop.

There is one on my asm resource page: http://tifreakware.calcgames.org/asmresc.htm

Hope that helps.

I recently wrote a tutorial for the TI-83/+/SE. The link's here: http://matt.lee3491.googlepages.com/tutorial1

It's not quite done yet.

I program for the ti-83 without the plus. And i read asmguru and it was confusing and the logs on ticalc do not cover enough and i couldnt even use the code with asm in 28 days. And so i am going to program using ion but before i do i wanted to get a better understanding of asm first and i was wondering if there was a really good asm tutorial for the ti-83 because i can not seem to find a good enough one.

I've added a new page on WikiTi getting people started with emulators and assemblers, for new assembly programmers:
