What you will learn
This learning path will teach you how computer processors truly execute code. You’ll learn how to read and write your own code and how to build your own pure assembly applications, all by diving into the world of assembly. Upon completion, you’ll have the knowledge to write, compile and debug pure assembly applications, or start to debug and dissect other people’s applications.
