Module: x86 Assembly Refresher

This module serves as a refresher for x86 assembly, to prepare you for the rest of the course!

Lectures

The following lectures have been upgraded from “Foundamentals” to this module’s lectures. They were due to be re-recorded for this run, but a brutal (non-COVID) illness prevented that.

• Assembly Refresher: Computer Architecture (slides here)
• Assembly Refresher: Assembly (slides here)

Practice Problems

Practice problems for this module are live at the dojo!
