CS 217 – ‘Computer Architecture with Assembly Programming’, hearing this course description gave me frights. I didn’t have even a little confidence that I could be receptive to lessons before that shall be taken in the entire semester, but I was able to cope with the pace as we progressed.. Truly this course is difficult but I had a lot of fun learning assembly language. It is mainly because it was fun learning with teacher and classmates rather than alone. And what makes assembly programming fun is because succeeding to do so gives me a sense of accomplishment. During our last meeting, we were planning to possibly have a group assembly learning during the next sem… possibly dwelling on OS stuffs. The idea was actually brilliant because this coming sem we will have OS class, and an application such as OS programming will really help me understand OS all the more. I also want to learn how to debug. I wish to master assembly programming, however I need to remain idle for the mean time to give way for our thesis. Our thesis is much more important as for this moment. Assembly could wait, I just hope I won’t lose the enthusiasm when I’m ready to continue.
As an end activity in this class, we were assigned to do our own editor. This is hard… and my code was really messy… If it were not because experts help me to improve my original code…I really doubt I would be posting the code here. Anyways, here it is though improvements can still be made.
