Re: assembly language
why wont anyone post anything?????? does anyone even know what assembly language is???? if not then please tell me.
Re: assembly language
Assembly language is specific to the microprocessor that you are programming for. So without knowing the chipset you are interested in, it is not possible to provide additional information.
As you have indicated, assembly language is also very cumbersome and time consuming to program in. It would take someone months to help you learn the language online. I would suggest that you buy a book for this. There are several good ones available on Amazon and other sites,

Re: assembly language
Hi there:
Assembly language is particularly fun to learn -- precisely because it is a very "low-level" programming language. By "low level", I mean that you need to understand how the CPU is made and how it functions -- because you are concerned about data flowing from CPU register to register or computer memory. You will really learn how a CPU functions, if you learn this.
Here are some resources for your consideration and review:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_assembly_language
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Basic_ ... y_language
Depending on what computer you will use to do some assembly programming, you can find appropriate books at Borders..... or even perhaps free manuals online.
In fact, here is a list of assmblers and some are open source... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assemblers
Good luck....

Re: assembly language
thank you very much and now i have a dumb question... how do you start a new post???
Re: assembly language
Hi,
Not a dumb question, by any means!
If you want to start a new topic under the Grades 6-8: Math and Computer Science category, I believe that if you go back to the Grades 6-8 Math and Computer Science category page, you will see a button with the label "New Topic" on the left hand side of the screen (to the left of the search box).
If you want to start a new topic under one of the other categories, go to the Grades 6-8 "main" page, select the category you wish to post to, and then click the "New Topic" on that category page.
Hope this helps,
Caroline
