I'd make it quit crashing your calculator first of all.

I usually do a hello, world program on a new computer and then do
something like moving a letter or a word around on the screen in
different ways.  Just to get a feel for the system.

As for asm, learning by doing is the only way you can learn it.
But you'll need a good Z80 reference or you'll miss a lot of stuff.
