We used to call C "High Level Assembly".

I have 5 or 6 episodes on ARM64 assembly where we even end up doing GPIO on the pi, for those who are interested

So, my journey learning about computers started at the bottom, with that I mean, learning how binary works, learning how transistors work, and learning how logic gates work. I downloaded logisim and re-created Ben Eaters breadboard computer. In that process you have to write control words for instructions, literally bit by bit turning parts of the CPU on and off. Assembly didn't seem so hard after writing programs in machine code.

start with sasm( ide for assembly), ida free ( to view in graphs xrefs , imports )and tools like objdump and readelf ( to understand got, ptl .rodata , understand linkers and lazy and dynamic binding , and other crazy stuffs..) 😂.

I started with 32bit ARM Assembly for raspberry Pi CPUs. The architecture is a bit more beginner friendly compared to standard x86 assembly. Great way to also learn how to use the Linux command line as well.

Assembly and any references to the stack ALWAYS make me feel like I’ve eaten an entire tube of off-brand Pringles and am now suffering digestive trauma to my esophagus.

I don’t know why your channel isn’t gigantic. I’m confident it will be one day. I beg you, never stop.

I learnt ASM through online tutorials. It was fun, it was even more fun learning how to count cpu clock cycles, and eventually how to compleatly ignore ebp based stack frames.

I learned with “Assembly Language Step-by-Step” over Christmas break one year when I was like 19. I felt so 1337 😂

I did the opposite. I learnt to code in assembly on the Amiga and then tried to make a large project, thought "This is shit", and moved to an optimising C compiler.

I learned assembly by doing my own ISA and creating a custom processor in Verilog. I honestly believe that while it isn't the most optimal way to learn, you will learn a lot.

I want to understand computers like this guy, #lowlevel learning 🎉

I learned x86 assembly by writing a bootloader that can read and load an ELF kernel from an ext2 partition, it was a lot of pain but also a lot of fun!

Is ARM a good platform to start learning Assembly?

It's all fun and games until every instruction is relative to the current location

Now use -O3 on a moderately complex program. IIR, strcmp() is so optimized (and inlined) that the asm is almost unrecognizable. Some things will use SIMD instructions (if available).

Just learn beta assembly with MIT course as an introduction (course is free on the net). Then code a compiler from any source to beta uasm. Then learn classic assembly. At this point, ur top 0.01% of programmer in terms of deep understanding and C has even become easy !

I did the opposite, I wanted to learn C, so I started with Assembly. I had a verry hard time learning C even tho I had years of experience in programming (High level languages), but ASM was much easier.

if you know some C, then this is good advice because you can see how C works. If not, then a good simple assembler/disassembler for your favorite CPU is the best way. You are learning assembly for a reason: to become intimate with that and only that one CPU. You have to crawl (through broken glass) before you can walk. Take some electronics courses too, if you want to code bare metal. Performance benefits of machine code are diminishing as I write this. There was a time when computers waited for us. Now we wait for them. Soon they will be telling us what to do.

ive been coding in c and limiting myself to syscalls and malloc and slowly building myself a library. im currently trying to recreate printf, its really fun tbh

Respectfully I disagree. The best way to learn assembly is to painfully program in assembly. I had an architecture class in college that only allow us to write in x86-except for the last project. That was intentional as it showed how how grateful we were to have the abstractions afforded to us by C, after a semester-long drought of not being able to write even a single if statement

Once you realize that everything wasn't so hard once you dedicated the time to learn it

"This is the for loop" nice Have to try for the golden classic "hello world",then start off with simple "compare programs" to learn 😊(thats a good way) Have to learn how to make a compiler more over,internet is wretched,to find right resources,filled with scraps,manipulations like some kinda misbelief,mlm network or so,whatever Thank you Wish all be well 😃🌟✨🙌 04.02.2024 06:26 pm ist (43rd comment,3.2k+ likes,59,266+1views)

Wait what is the reason that people learn assembly or like what’s the benefit? Can’t most high level languages(like java or cpp) provide everything that a typical modern programmer needs(like for jobs or other coming use cases for programming and cs)?

To kick start learning Assembly today, get into retro emulation. Amiga/Atari St/Classic Mac for 68000 or even DosBox for classic 286/386/486 etc .. easy and safe !

By chance, do you know how to get your hands on IBM assembly? Or IBM cobol? I'm working on my own solution for this and the best I have is a rasberry pi that runs z/os

Nice

When I learn programming, I will start with C, then probably Assembly afterwards.

But how do I view the assembly after compiling C code?

I want to learn assembly.

Cosworth getting all the business

I tried that way but didn't work for me. I dived into books.

What application is being used to disassemble the code?

Ah ARM assembly.... Though I think this code is a bit too little to determine if it's AArch32 or AArch64. There are subtle differences between the two, mostly in system level code, but a few drop in user code too.

Not only that, but the best way to *write* assembly is also by writing C code!

What is a variable? Is that like saying MOV XXXXXXX BAK

It's actually more important to be able to read assembly than to actually write it

Write ur own Assembler, disassember, compiler, opimizer linker and then come here😂

Font name?

honestly if you have never worked in assembly at all i wouldn’t recommend this. maybe after a few starter assembly projects

I was just starting to get my head around x86-64 ASM and now I'm getting hit with ARM 😭

how to access the memory like he does

Is this 3270 Assembler?

There are two even better alternatives to learning assembly if you know nothing to begin with. 1) Play Shenzhen IO. and/or 2) Watch Ben Eaters videos on breadboard computers. That gets you up and running with the wind in your back.

I code in assembly, I run Temple.

How you got compiled c assembly code?

You can learn assembly using cheat engine

I could NOT disagree more. The best way to learn assembly is to pick up or obtain on the internet how the particular CPU functions. Learn all the Op codes and What they do. Then pick an assembler (they are different) and learn the particular assembly directives and how they work. Flowchart your work first so you can break down each block of work into proper assembly code. I have been coding in assembly since 1969

What is assembly? Is this like coding? what is being assembled here

Human resource machine.

Just play Shenzhen I/O.

This is not how human write assembly code this could help if you're not a beginner. We use a lot of tools and libraries and we got our own best practices

The best way to learn assembly is through blood sweat and tears.. Go find a tutorial online and sit and trust that you will learn how it all works with time. C programming can help for sure but the Best way is sitting and actually trying to program in assembly.

but why? unless you're being paid money that will make you retire in a year

Duh, obviously!

What

i uh what???

Nah, I’m good fam.

can you stop the music because it is very annoying

nope... just nope..

yall learning assembly by learning C, im learning assembly by writing a bootloader, we are not the same
