That's some awesome feedback. Thanks so much. As I'm teaching myself asm I'm learning as I go. I'll incorporate it all into a revised version soon.

- exikyut 8y agoI mentioned this elsewhere, but just to make sure you see it, I also stumbled on https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/135618/15675 https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/135618/15675, which may also be useful.
- willvk 8y agoThanks for that. Yep, I've seen that too.
- pjc50 8y agoYour article is actually pretty handy in terms of setting up the "workflow" for compilation and debugging from scratch. It's the sort of thing genuine beginners need to avoid getting tripped up.
- willvk 8y agoThank-you for your kind words about the post. That was what I was trying to do with it - to break down some of the nebulous fear that beginners have with assembly. Cheers!
- pkilgore 8y agoQuick suggestion to massively improve your writing for general consumption: strip out the passive voice where not absolutely necessary, e.g., "was decided". Not only is the active voice "I/we decided" generally much more interesting to read, it usually forces you to adopt a sentence structure with fewer words (easier to read). Your writing later in the article is much more engaging as you start to use the active voice. And thanks for the article, I love reading interesting excursions in low level programming!
- willvk 8y agoThanks for reading, and thanks for the feedback! That's a good tip on the passive/active voice. I did actually think about standardising that but let it (unfortunately) slide as I thought I would go from my initial thinking to more instructional but that's probably not as effective and engaging to the reader the whole way through. Will remember that tip for my next post! Thanks again!
