Calling all assembley programmers!!

im taking a CS course in college in assembley and its a pretty interesting course. i was just wondering if there are any that come on this forum, what exactally do you program?. someone told me that u can program drivers? and what kind of pay is in assembly language?
 
hey.. i'm taking an assembly class now too.. learned on the mips first (using the
SPIM simulator) and now we're learning the P3 on linux.
It's pretty tough so far..

the only thing i've really seen programmed in assembly is like keygens and other
such things (game trainers, patchers).

Not sure if you can get a straight job as an assembly programmer.. more than likely
you can though.. never looked into it myself..
 
were learning on the ibm 240 or some ish.. my teacher is really easy so its cool.. but other than that.. i would hate to code it..
 
I do some coding in x86 ASM. but I'm not a pure ASM programmer, since I'm too tire to do that. mostly I do C and when I need the speed, I'll do the core in assembly. Plus with assembly you can do a lot of tricks (but better watch out what you are doing). and with assembly language and good knowledge of the CPU/platform you are running, you can run very fast routine on it. Prime95 is a highly optimized program to run FFT on prime numbers. Some good emulators are using assembly core as well. and of course, good drivers need ASM (but a lot of people are lazy nowadays). Something I really want to do is a fractal compression system.. (that's way out of my league though... )


and WINDOWS IS NOT CODED WITH A LOT OF ASSEMBLY. If it is, you wouldn't see such a bloated OS... try QNX if you want to see what can be done in ASM with a OS. MS-DOS is probably coded primarily with ASM though.


as for Pay, I have no idea, but if you are as good as one of those demo/intro scene coders, you should be able to find jobs in the industry with no problem at all.
 
hehe yea windows in asm.. yes it is very time consuming to write in asm.. thats why perl rocks 🙂 .. but i got 1 more sememster after this and no more asm .. but alot more maths 🙁
