COMPUTERS-ASSEMBLY-LANGUAGE

A. Catalog Description

Introduction to machine language and assembly language programming.

Concepts discussed include techniques for encoding data as numbers,

instruction set design, and the industry standard numbering schemes. Requires students to practice assembly language programming techniques and develop

solutions with assembler programming.

B. Additional Information

Fluency in a programming language is prerequisite to the study of most areas

in the fields of information technology and computer science. While not all

information technology and computer science practitioners are required to

program, an understanding of the language of computers is essential to

designing, troubleshooting, and implementing systems.
