I can't speak for jvns, but for my degree, "UNIX BASICS" was essentially "Command-line basics" (an intro class), and Assembly was pretty much just the actual language syntax, registers, pointers, and interrupts. The word "syscall" might have been mentioned once or twice, but only in a hand-wavy, "don't worry about this right now" kind of way.
- iamcreasy 10y agoIn my assembly course we wrote intel 3/4/586 assembly. It was all about Syntax and Registers. Why pointers will be there in an Assembly course?
