6:11 we didn't expect that 🤦🏿‍♂️🤣

[oussaber]

Best crash course of assembly, in-depth and easy to follow explanation, very much appreciated!

[SlowedOutOfExistence]

This tutorial is great, only a real programmer brain can understand this video is gold
I have a student project in which I should code some functions using NASM I have now the basics to experiment myself
Thank you a lot

For a "crash course, " this doesn't really "crash, " but crawls. One thing: if you're going to use C as your higher-level example language, spend some time familiarizing yourself with it, instead of writing lines that will make those who have experience in C yell at their monitor. It scares the dogs. (Such as @55:33, when you slipped into JavaScript in your "if" statement.)

This tutorial is amazing, goes over everything, really explains much better than a lot of others do! Thank you for this!

Having coded a lot on the 6502/6510 in the 80's I've been able to follow this excellent intro, but you should have explained how ML actually works in the cpu for people with no knowledge. For instance give examples with real RAM addresses instead of labelling, use a monitor step by step, etc. Enjoyed it thank you 🤙

at 1:01:20 in line 173: i think the correct statement would be "mov edx, ecx", not "add edx, ecx", because in c is no add, only assign

[saidabdulaev]

Thank you very much for posting such a useful video! All the moments were explained with pretty much details! And I liked your soft and pleasant voice :)

[proggenius]

I found an oversight at 1:01:23 on line 173 (add edx, ecx). I guess it should be mov edx, ecx as it matches with c = b.

[muhamedkveshkshaano]

Your C uninitialized variable example is just exceptional man

[logicalkarma]

Java/C# dev identified. In c you write arrays as type name[] not type[] name

[KellyMurphy]

Should actually compile your code examples to make sure they work or your causing lots of confusion for the people who are starting from scratch.
IE in your loop example you need a memory address to store x in and mov your value to so you can pass the address that the syswrite function is looking for.

Good intro to NASM, time to write a new boot sector game.

[judparn]

I like the pace of the speaker but the fonts are very small. I even tried using a high resolution LED TV.

[guliyevshahriyar]

Very informative tutorial, thank you very much!

[mohammedhajomar]

thanks a lot man, appreciate the video

[nikosnikolakis]

nice intro t assembly language, though the programs i tried myself dont actually work

[vishnuparvatikar]

43:07 very important part explaining registers i.e, eax, ebx, ecx, edx ....

[Ronvict]

Thanks :) why we converted EDI to ASCII (add EDI, '0') and returned it back to decimal num (sub EDI, '0')?
