Oh, man...I'm sitting in my Assembler Language class right now

[Arkana]

waiting for my teacher to show up--plus, it's my last day of classes, and I have a $^&@*#(#@ing TEST!

If I do well, I don't have to take the final exam...please wish me luck!

1. Good luck!

Take a deep breath. Think zenful thoughts. Don't think you can, KNOW you can.

Writer.

2. Good luck!

Surfing on DU during class would make school so much better for me!

3. People still learn assembler?

9. Yes, they still teach assembler.

It's what the CPU is actually executing (not exactly, but more or less a one to one representation) so the knowledge is still needed. When a new CPU is designed with a new instruction set, someone has to write the first compiler (probably a cross-compiler) for the thing.
Also, I think assembler may still be used for some embedded applications (although they may be using C compilers for that now.)

4. They still teach that?

What is assembler used for these days?

5. Assembler is fun

but not when it's spring time on a Friday :-)

I only ever learned 68000 assembler, and promptly forgot it at the end of that electronics class, but it was still fun to learn.

7. I learned MIPS...that's what most Assembler classes teach.

[drm604]

8. Yep, it is fun

I wish I had a use for it these days.

[sui generis]

6. good luck

although you will likely never use Assembler or possibly even JCL anywhere in the modern world. Chase the PC and client server world, not mainframe and you'll be able to re-use all that brain space for something else.

10. Good luck to you!

Kick some $^&@*#(#@ing TEST! ass!!!

12. Good luck to you!

I had a programmer teacher who wanted me to sign up for his Assembler class, I'm sorry I didn't do it when I had the time. Now it's too much Java for me!

13. is it similar to the binary language of moisture vaporator?

or binary load lifters?
