Shall i learn Assembly Language or C, to Understand how "real programming" works?
- by Daniel Upton
Hello, World..
I'm a web developer mostly working in Ruby and C#..
I wanna learn a low level language so i dont look like an ass infront of my (computer science expert) boss.
Ive heard a lot of purist buzz about how assembly language is the only way to learn how computers actually work, but on the other hand C would probably be more useful as a language rather than just for theory.
So my question is..
Would Learning C teach me enough computer science theory / low level programming to not look like a common dandy (complete tool)?
Thanks!
Daniel
