Welcome to the Assembly Language class. Assembly language, or ASM, is a low-level computer programming language that requires the programmer to manipulate the processor (CPU) directly and without abstraction by way of issuing processor instructions. This language is currently used when fast execution is required on a whole or part of a program. It is uncommon for software to be developed entirely using assembly anymore, however assembly is a key component in software profiling and optimisation.
This is a Wikiversity content development project. Participants in this project create, organize and develop learning resources about Assembly Language.
Please put what we will be covering here. Be enthusiastic, not dry.
[edit] Prerequisites
Please list all prerequisites. Hopefully they will all be topics here at Wikiversity.
[edit] Learning projects
See: Learning Projects and the Wikiversity:Learning model.
Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the learning project (learning projects are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing! We suggest the use of the learning project template (use "subst:Learning project boilerplate" on the new page, inside the double curved brackets {{}}).
Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
- Introduction to Assembly Language - Otherwise known as machine agnostic ASM. More specific areas devoted to each platform can be created as well.
- Achitectures
Remember, Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. We learn by doing.
