Assembly / Low-Level development

[Kingz V]

well, let's talk about this interesting topic.

i've got the task of learning assembly for one of my last upper-level It courses this semester..

specifically going to be working with MIPS.

You'll learn about computer architecture/memory and such. I don't think ASM is used much these days because C handles most low-level tasks, but it's still pretty important to learn for understanding more about computers and optimization of certain programs.

I haven't learned ASM entirely myself. It's sort of difficult because it's like the hardest type of code to read (besides binary but that's not readable by humans).

Good luck.

my god, we were covering number sytems and handling floating point numbers.>.>

It got brutal quick, I agree that C really does like 98% of the heavy lifting, and c++ doing the rest.

If I had time I'd work on some C stuff, I was even looking at ruby scripting a gaya login (spoilers-mechanize is a ruby gem)

I did read a funny thing about Linus hating on c++ devs. xD
