I've been lookin for a good (pref free) Assembly programming guide. Anyone know any good ones?

No :/ Please explain what MIPS is, I has no idea

Wiki overview of MIPS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture


For your first challenge.... Write a solution for the "Tower of Hanoi".

I remember my assembly final... it was printing out all the graphical solution to the "8 Queens on a Chess Board" problem.

Does MIPS run on x86 procs? Does it run on both?


The reason I'm trying to learn is a friend of mine is taking the same courses I'll be taking at same college I'm taking (Double major in electrical engineering and computer science) and I wanted a headstart. Right now I only know basic C, C++, Java and web languages.

Don't try assembly until you are confident with C. Maybe sure you have a good understanding of pointers and memory management before you start assembly.

I started with ARM assembly. We had a simulator that ran ARM code exactly like it would on our lab machines, so we could just run our code within Windows before we transferred it to the boards.

So you'd recommend learning C over again then MIPS/Assembly?
Do you know any good C tutorials ?

It depends on your focus... C is a higher level language. For EE, you probably don't need to know assembly (it won't hurt though). For a Computer Engineer, it is a required course.
