Hello, world! sais the IBM Personal Computer 5150 - Part 7: Introduction to Assembly Programming
Hello, world!
In this series of videos, I'm putting myself in the place of a computer programmer in 1981, starting out on the brand new IBM Personal Computer, model 5150. This iconic computer is the very first "PC" in the modern sense of the word. As such, its operation and programming environment were brand new to a 1981 software developer.
In this episode, we start programming in assembly language. This requires a more detailed understanding of the hardware, in particular the Intel 8088 CPU.
Resources used in this episode are:
