The fundamentals of registers, stack memory, and memory addressing modes
The concepts of arithmetic, eflags, and logical operators
The main concept of branches, and loops
Calling C functions from x86 assembly
Running Linux system calls through x86 assembly

Requirements

Description
x86 is one of the foundational programming languages. Many different flavours and versions of x86 exist, including the version featured in this course, known as NASM.  The Intel chipset is one of the most common chipsets, making it a great choice for learning assembly programming. By understanding an assembly language, programmers can have a better understanding of how code is compiled and run, making it possible to create more efficient programs. In addition to this, programmers can work at a lower level, allowing them to write code that interacts with hardware in an efficient manner. In this course, you will learn:How to setup NASM for x86 assembly on LinuxHow to interact with an x86 processor through register and stack memoryHow to interact with various memory typesHow to conduct basic arithmetic and logical instructionsHow to create branching logicHow to create basic loop structuresHow to call standard C and user defined C functionsHow to run system calls through LinuxBy the end of this course, you will have a fundamental understanding of the x86 processor with NASM, as well as assembly programming in general. You will be able to write basic x86 assembly programs, using various instructions available in the processor. You will also have the understanding required to further expand your knowledge, allowing you to become an expert in the area of assembly programming. You should consider this course if you are interested in learning about assembly programming, or x86 assembly!
