Wow. If this had been available when I was learning Apple II assembly when I was 8, I would have lapped it up. (Heck, I still will for nostalgia's sake.) At least, I had the source code for some games from computing magazines; that was enough to get me started.
That a major operating system today is open-source is a fantastic thing for young budding coders.

Was much the same as magic to me then. Then realizing there's a typo in there, somewhere... check digits helped a bit I think if whatever you used supported that. 1. http://apple2history.org/history/ah21/#03 http://apple2history.org/history/ah21/#03
