I got it all the details here and cleared my doubts
Thanks, I really appreciate it ?

Great Work and nice illustrations!
Great post, very informative. I wonder why the other experts of this sector don’t notice this. You should continue your writing. I’m sure, you’ve a great readers’ base already!

I’m in touch with the IT department there.

Julio: I recommend a class in basic computer use. There, you will learn that we can see you on the Internet.

Computer hardware knows how to read C now?

The further technology moves in to the future, the less and less relevant assembly becomes as portability becomes and much more important issue. Just look at how much of a comeback interpreted languages like Python and Perl are making these days. Virtual machine and framework based languages like Java and .NET are rapidly replacing the old standards in application programming as user end computing moves more and more in to an interactive web based environment. Sure, there will always need to be some good assembly language coders out there, every piece of hardware will still need low level functionality before it can begin to implement the higher level standards of today, and those languages themselves need some sort of base to run on whether the language is interpreted or compiled. So it all really depends on what context you’re using it in. To someone writing compilers, it may be their bread and butter. To someone else writing Java programs to update your Facebook from a cell phone, assembly is just some abstract concept.

I think the two most important programming experiences to get in school (or learning on your own) are programing in a very abstract form (Lisp, Haskell, etc), and programming in a very concrete form (assembly). How can you understand the nature of software and hardware, without doing a few things that are impractical?

The old Apple ][ with the 6502 chip, and later the mac toaster with the 68000. I even did a little bit on the PC – embedded in C – a context switcher for multi threading.

Nowadays it’s java, SQL and XSLT.

You know, I don’t really miss the old days at all 🙂

Indian motorcyle. the right hand twist grip was the throttle, like current bikes. the left hand twist grip allowed (required) you to manually control spark advance. this gave you fine control over how your engine worked, if you could figure out how to do it. but it also distracted you from the bigger picture, like that SUV running the red light. the analogy should be clear.

still, some people (extremely few) do need asm, and others may want to play with it, which is cool. it is fun, to a point (i’ve written multitasking operating systems in asm, the fun diminshes rapidly). given that, high level approaches like HLA and good reference information for using them can only be a Good Thing.

nowadays i consider C programming the new assembly language. maybe C++ like a good macro assembler.
