Assembly 101 will teach you how computers work down to the lowest level and how to write and read the human readable version of the 1s and 0s they speak in – Assembly. The course starts with an introduction on how computers perform computations using transistors, logic gates and machine code (1s and 0s), then moves on to writing your own assembly programs. Students will start writing x86-16 assembly in a beginner-friendly 8086 emulator to learn the fundamentals and then move on to writing modern x86-64 assembly.
