does anyone know where i can find a dictionary of some sort on assembly language
 
UM - I'm not entirely sure what you mean or want.

Here are the assembly languages I know:
MIPS
PIC
Motorola
Brain98 <---- haha that is a language we made up for a project at school.

Can you please explain your intentions?/
 
i just want 2 expand my knowledge about it and learn all the commands like these commands

ADD X, Y
MOV 10, X
 
Well the point is that you wouldnt just learn a language, you would want to learn a language that you can actually practice and actually use.

For example - are you likely to buy and use Motorolla HC11 chips to do anything? Probably not, so learning it may not help much. It is true that many assembly languages are similar but also every is different.

I suggest that you learn somehting like Intell Assembly. That was you can write programs and test it out on your computer. Intell assembly is very powerfull and you have a ton of registers to use, ans alot of commands to use. You might htink having alot makes it more complicated but it is actually easier.

PIC assembly for example only has a few instructions and 1 register, so it can be complicated to do simple things with such limited resources.

I myself did not learn Intel Assembly as that was a computer science cource I neevr got arround to taking - but I'm sure it wouldnt be that hard to find help or even tutorials online.

My second choice would be to learn pic assembly, because I friggen love PIC chips. I feel like I can build anything with a PIC - and you can even get free samples. Although there would be some hardware and circuitry building necessary with those so its up to you, but I think Intell Assembly is a more resonable choice.
 
k th do u know anywhere where i can like find a list of the commands i can use because i just want 2 expand my knoledge ive even started reading up on hexadecimals
 
not much to read I hope, hexadecimal is just a number system that counts to 16 before using the next digit.

You can also shorthand abreviate binary in hex liek this: take the 8 bit number in binary 10101011 and then break it up into two 4 bit numbers by simply adding a space liek this 1010 1011. The first number 1010 is (10 in base ten - 8+2=10) and in hex ten is the number A. The second number 1011 (11 in base ten - 8+2+1=11) is the number B in hex.

Thus, the number 10101011 in hex is AB.





anywho, I dont know, lets see ---> ten second later after searching yahoo http://www.jegerlehner.ch/intel/IntelCodeTable.pdf

Just search arround, go tot he wiki, search for intel x86 assembly language - or assembly commands and see what you get. Usually you buy a $100 textbook while learning languages at college or high school so on the web you have to find your own stuff and make do. If anyone else knows or uses a good site feel free to post it - i like books myself.
 
hehe sorry stupid question again whats up with all the weird letter isnt it used in normal letters and numbers i see squares and weird letters ive neve seen before in my life sorry if its a stupid question X-D
 
intell assembly should consist only of english keybaord standard eltters. If you ssee weird charactors it is possible that your computer migh tbe missing a language pakc or somehting.... Can you show us what you mean?
 
Green Monkey gave you some good tips.

It depends which assembly language you want to settle on.

I'm surprised you asked here rather than enter a few deft keystrokes in Google or Wikipedia.

Try here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language

Read the info, then scroll down to the References section and click on whatever looks interesting.

All assembly languages share common aspects. This should give you a few free lessons:

Remember, google is your friend, don't be afraid to ask it first before posting...it will probably be faster...and as you learn to use google, you can get really good and make google stand on its head for you.
 
Just out of curiosity, what made you choose assembly? Assembly isn't the most user-friendly programming language and if you don't have prior programming experience I highly suggest you try a higher level language.
 
DOM is correct, almost nobody uses it for real computers - but i suggested it because you can actually test it out - most places dont use assembly for almost anything, but truth be told - i friggen love assembly so much. More than C - yeah I said it.

I'm gonna breka one of my own rules here but here goes:

JAVA FTL
 
Java is VERY easy to pickup and do some pretty cool things. Unfortunately, it's an inefficient beast and should be avoided when performance is a concern :P
 
Maybe its just me but I have this thing where it bothers me that it compiles and interprets.

Small fact - did you know that java figures out what you are doing and converts your code to C when it can because c is faster.
