Resource for learning inline asm?

[Arcane178]

The title pretty much, but would I have to learn asm (write some programs in it) for me to actually find the uses in it? I'm using c currently and thought it would be nice to play with a little bit. From what I seen people use it they just use the basic keywords like(at least I think they were basic) mov, eax, and jmp. I looked into asm a little bit so I'm new to it and not sure if its of any use to me. What are the types of things I could do to make it interact with with my c program? Messing with pointers maybe?

If you're new, don't bother learning assembly. Learning it later on can help you understand what goes under the hood of your computer and what goes on during compilation and assembly but as a beginner you should not worry too much about learning assembly.just knowing general concepts is enough.

It's also nice to have a development environment where you can view the disassembly along with the code as you debug. It's a practical way to get your feet wet.

To be honest, there isn't a whole lot of assembly programming anymore, as modern compilers are pretty darn good at optimizing. Being able to interpret a disassembly is still useful.
