I'm going to teach them how to make programs that run on
the machines that are there.
But I intend to also show them a little bit about other processors,
including the lack of symmetry of the 80x86, what kinds of
differences to expect, different mnemonics, different architectures,
quirks, etc.
My goal for the semester is that they will be able to create
simple working programs, be able to start on larger projects,
and have a clue how to deal with other different situations.
Teaching them how to learn assembly language is far more important
than the mastery of a given one.
Surely somebody will be offended by that approach.
