## Overview 

this tutorial series covers fundamental concepts in assembly programming, including:

- Basic computer architecture.

- The assembly language syntax and conventions.

- System calls.

- Writing to stdout.

- Reading from stdin.



Each tutorial contains detailed explanations and code examples to help you understand and apply the concepts effectively.



## Prerequisites

- Basic understanding of computer science concepts.

- Familiarity with system level programming.

- Familiarity with Linux command line.

- A working environment set up for assembly programming (please refer to the **Setting Up the Environment** tutorial for instructions).



## Getting Started

To get started, simply navigate to the tutorial files listed above. Each file contains detailed information and examples for the respective topic.



## Ongoing Development

This tutorial series is actively being enhanced and expanded. I am committed to continuously updating the content to cover a broader range of topics and advanced concepts in assembly programming.



Your feedback and suggestions for additional topics are welcome! Thank you for your interest and support as I develop this resource for the assembly programming community :D
