Assembly IDE

I'm going to learn assembly before we use it in the fall, I was wondering what kinda IDE's might be out there, or what other resources might be of use? I know nothing at all about the language, but I'm going to go get a book(s) later this week on it to learn. Any suggestions or help are welcomed 🙂
 
Assembly is not a specific language. It's basically machine code, which varies depending on what machine you're writing it for.
 
What platform?

There are various IDEs for MASM listed here, along with other resources. Since it sounds like you're going to be doing this in school, it's highly doubtful that you'll be using MASM. I personally use UltraEdit for almost everything.

Let us know what platform...
 
We actually used MASM back when I had to take Assembly in college. HATED IT!!! It was back in the day and we were using 386 sx's. My professor was a drunk and I basically learned from my classmates. My greatest achievement in that class was a PigLatin generator. You typed in a sentence and it would pig latinize it. nifty but worthless...
 
MIPS assembly is for the MIPS CPU, go figure eh? MIPS CPUs are used in SGI machines running Irix, but you'll probably just have an emulator I would assume.

Eww... assembly... get it off! get it off! nooooooooooo!

assembly isn't that bad, it's actually quite simple to learn. The part that sucks is that it's so simple it takes a ton more code to do anything usefull, learning assembly will help in debugging programs in the future but I would highly recommend against using asm in any projects.
 
Before I say this let me preface it with I don't work for them or have any connection other than buying thier editor a couple times now (home/work). I just answered the same thing for an HTML editor question's why I say this...

Editplus - http://www.editplus.com/ 30 day trial, $30 after that. It's an editor though not really an IDE.

On the User's file page there's a contributed MIPS syntax file - http://www.editplus.com/others.html Then Find for "MIPS".

I have 3 of 'em; I recently acquired them to putz around with, but then I discovered they require a special monitor connector -- well, I don't want to play around with 'em THAT much (not enough time right now), so off they go. 2 come with the infamous IndyCam, KB & Mouse (no monitors). These are surplus auction acquisitions; I haven't yet tested them, so they're being sold AS IS. If I find out more about 'em, I'll update this post.
