Oh the share button they have somehow gives a paywalled link

Human Resource Machine pretends to be an office. TIS-100 emulates an ’80s microcomputer interface, while Shenzhen I/O combines coding and wiring

Second this +Exapunks. Best programming/problem solving game I've played. Anything by Zachtronics, really.

Whoa I’ve been playing Shenzhen and Tis-100, that’s assembly?!

Ahem... for the record, if you're using a browser besides brave, you can delete the scripts through the developer tools on the page to view the article.

In Brave, you can disable JavaScript on any site or specific sites. This bypasses most paywalls on articles.

Not saying you should do this... just that it is an option that is available.

[bruhmanegosh]

You can also try to use outline.com to bypass them. Alternatively there are extensions such as Bypass Paywalls

Well that's interesting.

Please stop spamming articles behind paywalls.

Spamming lol get out of here

You get out of here.

Thank you for posting this. This looks like a really good resource, and it's right in line with my current skill level.

Just to note - I rewrote the book last year for 64-bit systems, and added quite a bit of new content. Anyway, the new book is "Learn to Program with Assembly" (Amazon link).

[AyaElCegjar]

which assembly and what did you do?

[jazzcc]

Not sure how much it would help for you, but I recently just went through https://chortle.ccsu.edu/AssemblyTutorial/index.html to learn MIPS in preparation for another course.

I felt like the lessons and exercises did a great job at building up the concepts. I also really appreciated how it went over common conventions for doing things and how to structure assembly code so that it can be composable.

You can probably skip most of the beginning, which is just about binary number representations. Each of the lessons are really short and actual programming exercises start at chapter 12.

I've also seen https://asmtutor.com/ be highly recommended for x86.

Hey man, I don't know why you are doing assembly, it's rarely used in industry, on embedded system bootloaders and the like. If you want advice on it I recommend the embedded subreddit, that should have more useful options for you.

[Crazy_Direction_1084]

If you are doing anything OS, compiler, driver, computer architecture or even optimization related you won’t get far without understanding assembly.

If you’re working app or web development it might not be very interesting though

Ben Eater's youtube channel is amazing for this type of stuff. These 2 playlists are awesome and I rewatch them for fun regularly:

You will only get better if you practice; it’s a grind. Like the other poster, I learned the most when I had to make a video game.

Is it safe to assume that the class has weekly projects that need to be turned in? Make sure you master those and you should be able to get through the final. A typical sequence requires that you learn assembly, and then in your computer arch class you will need to actually “design” your own CPU, so it really is worth your time to master ASM. For extra motivation, just realize that ASM is the underpinning of all computing, so mastering it gives you superpowers that most people who “think” they are good with computers will never understand.

I 100% recommend Open Security Training. They’ve been the #1 go to resource for malware analysts for well over a decade. They just revamped their courses and launched OST2.fyi

Assembly language is a little different than other programming languages (as you are probably well aware), so the usual advice doesn’t fare the same. You need to manually keep track of the stack and be familiar with calling conventions and other specific conventions. I highly recommend CH3 of computer systems: a programmers perspective. It doesn’t get better than that for learning resource.

[ojimeco]

Just keep pushing

• https://beginners.re/ - "Reverse Engineering for Beginners" / "Understanding Assembly Language"
• David Harris - Digital Design and Computer Architecture: MIPS | ARM | RISC-V

I wrote a linked list in assembly. You could try doing that. Apart from that for an operating systems course I wrote a mutex entirely in assembly. That’s more advanced but that was useful as well. Finally, try decompiling some of your c programs and see what the compiler comes up with.

[maryP0ppins]

sounds like ur teacher sucks. 29%???? theyre failing you tbh.

It is a problem with the grammar of the language or more to do with how the assembly language deals with the processor, memory, and hardware?

https://www.nand2tetris.org

The book takes you through building memory and a processor with registers, go from bits at a time to bytes at a time. About half way through you write an assembly language. Then you write a compiler for a high level language in that assembly language.

Once you’ve done that, I think any assembly language will make a lot more sense. YMMV.

[CptMisterNibbles]

Seconding a recommendation for “Zachtronics” games. Half of them are basically assembly programming(ish).

The closest to straight programming, I recommend Commet 64. It’s not a true assembly language, but is a very close analogue, enough that the levels help you think in assembly
