Wow, very informative - even if I struggled along at some points and had to look up definitions :D<p>For someone who last dabbled in assembly just a bit on a Tandy 8086 eight or nine years ago, what's the best way to start clean and get a fresh understanding of x86_64 architecture? What are good beginner projects? I assume no one's building a blog application out of assembly, so what's the equivalent?<p>Looking forward to struggling through part two!
