In Germany we had specialized magazines, and I'm sure there were similar things in most countries. I bought a CPC664 in 1985, and there was a magazine called CPC International. It had articles about all sorts of things - programming languages or documentation for chips like the CRTC. There were also program listings you could type in; I believe I got an assembler that way. Another magazine had a BASIC compiler. Similar things existed later in the Amiga days.
There were also books. One of my favourites was an annotated disassembly of the CPC's two major ROMs. 16KB basic operating system, and 16KB BASIC interpreter.
