Course Objectives

Differentiate and compare common cross-platform data representations, computer architecture, and machine and assembly language principles and techniques.
Describe assembly language directives, operators, and program structure.
Use assembly language to plan, write, assemble, execute, and document application programs.
Demonstrate machine-level debugging skills, including monitoring each of the CPUs actions as directly as possible.
Explain the relationship between fundamental high-level programming constructs (such as statements, arithmetic expressions, loops, logical structures, and data structures and arrays) and lower-level code (assembly language and native and virtual machine language.)
Describe how high-level languages implement their high-level constructs at the lower levels.
Explain how language compilers (such as C++) translate their high-level language into lower-level code.
