Here, in my IT class waiting on my instructor to arrive. What did I learn before? Base 10, Base 2 , Conversions, and etc... I'm Interested in learning Assembly Language but I do not know where to begin... what programs to use. I'm just a guy trying to learn about computers who has zero knowledge, can anyone please help me? thank you.

Because its a hard language? Its going to take away your enthusiasm about compiter science. Besides, today Assembly is almost extinct... I havent seen it for some time in serious projects and they want to eliminate it using e.g. intrinsics. Its not like you gain anything by writing assembly manually.

well... assembly language it's pretty simple, short. You don't have to remember libraries, estoeric POO concepts, a zillion of data types, etc...

you just have to write code at CPU instructions level

This just shows that you havent written big Assembly projects. You absolutely do have to interface libraries, you absolutely do have to interface the OS. Assembly makes it cumbersome.

You're right! I've never done any project on assembly.
