Hi Hutch,

Again, very nice work

No any lag or glitch.

A little faster for my English

Look very well at 0.5x, music sound even better at this speed

Both videos look and move smoothly. I like specially the first one, both the image and the background music.

Looks great and nice music and very informative

Wonder will you keep going like show how to make "hello world" in masm 64?

I moved the member comments out of the introduction forum so that the introduction videos were easy to find and occurred in sequential order. I have more on the way and I need to be able to just add each new one after the previous one. Also, thanks for your comments and testing, it addressed some things that I cannot directly test.

Just I listen in the library a few tracks requiring that:

Steve,

the video is well done, informative and instructive. Taking small steps is the right approach. This makes it easier for the switchers and newcomers. The test bed is a good help.

Hi Gunther,

What I am trying to do with the videos is help new members to understand the background of the revival of mainstream assembler programming and to do this, it need to be a coherent message for a new member to comprehend what is finally a complex field. In the early days of the forum this was well understood and it worked well but over time a new member is seen as a resource for folks peddling a range of alternative technologies.

When a new member get hit with a wall of conflicting technologies, tools, licences and arguments, they just disappear and this has been happening more often than not recently. The idea is to present a coherent technique so that a new member can get up and going with successful code that runs properly. Once a new member is up and going, they can explore any technology they want once they know how it works.

Steve,

I agree with you there. What about similar help for Win64? Is there anything planned in this direction?

Gunther

Its coming but I have to get the entry level 32 bit code better understood so that more people can start writing assembler code in MASM. As I generally work in 64 bit these days, it will in fact be easier and its a great environment to work with as it is a more powerful environment with a lot of extra power and capacity.

Its usually the case that a programmer needs a reasonable background in 32 bit code to transit to 64 bit as it is a more complex area and it is structurally different but once you are familiar with it, it is very similar to writing 32 bit code. You have to effectively ditch PUSH / POP style code as the argument layout on the stack is very different and avoid using registers as arguments in the first 4 arguments as you can get unexpected overlaps but most of it is similar to 32 bit.

daydreamer · « **Reply #13 on:** January 28, 2021, 10:32:58 PM »

what about if I send you .gif with few seconds/frame,where I screencapture several steps howto make a 32bit program,would that be useful?
do you use any storyboard when make them?

@Gunther
"switchers" as programmers who always use switch/case vs jumptables/series of IFs ?
