The five Boot Camp lectures provide a brief high-level overview of the Assembler Language and a small subset of the processor's instructions. This presentation will introduce some of the most fundamental, simple, and widely-used instructions in all Assembler Language programs that we didn't have time to discuss in the Boot Camp lectures.
These include, but are not limited to:
o Storage to register instructions with various operand lengths such as Insert/Store Character(s), Load/Store Halfword, and instructions for 64-bit operands
o Types of bit shifting, and why they're important: Logical and Arithmetic shifts for single- and double-length values
o Immediate operands, and how using them can make your programs (much) simpler and more efficient
o Long displacements that let you address vast amounts of storage
o Dynamic instruction execution: the Execute instructions
o and other useful instructions, as time permits.
If you are an upcoming Assembler programmer, or just want to brush up on some of the 'classic' instructions, this is the session for you.
