What you’ll do
This short course will introduce you to the inner workings of the Assembly programming language and teach you how you can use the language to create applications. The course begins by explaining basic and routine operations such as creating a project and writing comments. We follow this with tutorials on the structure of Assembly code, memory segments and the various register types used to store information. This part of the course also explains how to address the various registers and create variables.
The second half of the course begins with tutorials on different commands for creating constants in the Assembly language. This includes commands like the ‘equ’, ‘assign’ and ‘defend’ commands. Following this, you will explore some commands and instructions for manipulating data, such as the ‘increment’, ‘decrement’, ‘addition’, ‘subtraction’, ‘and’, ‘or’ and ‘xor’ commands. Finally, the course concludes with tutorials on jumps, loops, creating functions, strings, printing numbers, stacks, macros and system calls.
Assembly is a low-level programming language that allows you more freedom to store and manipulate data than most high-level languages. Knowledge of the Assembly language is also critical for a richer understanding of computer programming. This course is suited for individuals new to programming, experienced programmers or anyone looking to gain insight into how the Assembly language and computer programming works. Start now, and be on your way to building powerful applications with the Assembly language in three hours.
