We were taught computer architecture and assembly at University of Copenhagen with the introduction of MIPS. I was very fond of this book by David Patterson (https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Organization-Design-Hennessy-Patterson/dp/B001DYVNLM). Assembly is not as hard as it sounds.
I had an assembly class in college as well. We used a VAX VMS system at the time. I just went “Nope, this is no fun…at all” and I’ve run from assembly programming ever since
I agree. Not fun. Ain’t gonna do it. But it’s not that difficult as the mainstream has made it seem.
Yeah, assembly is doable and not the “magic” that some make it out to be. Not having to personally write assembly has REALLY made me appreciate compilers/virtual machines/etc. and the folks who work on them. HUGE thank you to anyone here that does that level of work to allow the rest of us to be way more productive!
