Originally Answered: Is learning Assembly language worth the time? It is useful to learn. It isn’t useful to learn because you are going to write a lot of assembly code in your life. It’s useful because it teaches you how a computer works at a fairly low level.
Why assembly language is the best?
Complete control over a system’s resources. As a programmer, the closest you can come to the processor of a machine is by using assembly language. This is mainly because assembly language is the gateway to optimization in speed, thereby offering great efficiency and performance.
How hard is assembly code?
Assembly is hard to read and understand. Of course, it’s very easy to write impossible-to-read assembly language programs. It’s also quite easy to write impossible-to-read C, Prolog, and APL programs. With experience, you will find assembly as easy to read as other languages.
How can I learn assembly language?
You can learn assembly language through several assembly language tutorials available on Hackr.io, which include both free and paid tutorials. There are also many courses based on the skill level of the users.
What is assembly programming?

How is assembly language converted into machine code?
Assembly language is converted into executable machine code by a utility program referred to as an assembler like NASM, MASM, etc. Audience This tutorial has been designed for those who want to learn the basics of assembly programming from scratch.
What is the best book to start learning assembly programming?
I started with “The Art of Assembly Programming”, which you can download for free somewhere from the internet. Take care to get the original version and not just the HLA version of that book. It carries the same name, but is something completely different. The code in that book is of age, because it’s mainly about DOS programming.
