Assembly is the most basic programming language available for any processor. With Assembly language, a programmer works only with operations performed directly on the physical CPU. Assembly lacks high-level conveniences such as variables and functions, and it is not portable across different processor families. However, Assembly is the most powerful programming language available on a computer, and it gives programmers the insight they need to write efficient code in high-level languages. Learning Assembly is a way to appreciate the time and effort of all serious programmers.</p>
