    A couple of questions

    There is a product that I downloaded called wizmo and I really like it. It was written in Assembly. The exe was small and fast.

    Is Assembly the only language that can create standalone exe?

    How can one get started to learn Assembly and what software are needed?

    Thanks

    No, most traditional languages can (eg: C, Pascal, QBasic ...), although the assembler way does make them quicker (but much harder to write).

    I'm afraid I can't help on where/how to learn etc.. I've got no idea which assemblers are any good, try looking through this forum for what other people suggest

    For creating real windows apps there are NASM, TASM and MASM.

    The Art of Assembly (see the FAQ, there are two links, only one works) has a section about Win32 assembly programming.
