    Default Interested in assembly programming?

    If a handful of users are interested in learning basics of assembly, I will provide small tutorials and basic exercises. If you are interested post below.

    I'm down to learn some more assembly! It was quite the experience in my architecture class. I've been told that there's some success in starting off teaching programming with simplified assembly which I've thought has had its merits.

    The big issue that I foresee with that approach is completely discouraging novices and expecting too much from them to start with.
    The headache that goes into your first hello world (presuming that you understand the code instead of copying) in assembly alone would leave me thinking "programming is useless".

    Well of course, if we used any of the actual assembly languages, I'm pretty sure no one would be in computer science. Also, since it's so low level, hello world might not be the best starting project. Maybe just adding things would be simple enough. It gives a good starting point

    Sorry for the lack of following up. I got distracted. I'll edit this post with some more information at some point today.

    I think there are pros and cons to both ways to introduce the language. Ideally digital logic, registers, and other foundation would be developed. The issue with that though is that may people lose interest. I'll post details on the compiler soon.

    I will be awaiting for the compiler. Thanks
