The thing you are not getting here is that assembly language is not bad. it's code habits that are bad. Its incorrectly used logic that is bad. It's incorrect human temperament that is bad. And discouragement is the worst. C has a purpose. assembly has a purpose. We do not say that you should program everything in assembly. No one ever did say that even if you could. (Well, that might soon change because of some of my plans though). But it holds for now.

Use the right tool for the right purpose. not to discourage people using C, but C has an extremely high level of abstraction from the machine which doesn't give a programmer the full understanding of what his/her code is doing. Assembly clears the cloud, and after learning assembly language, it's extremely highly probable that you'll end up writing much better code than without learning it.

Any language is not bad. All have limitations. There's a lot of hoopla about Java, but to some programmers it's pure ****. Well, that's their viewpoint, but it has its uses too. Java programs are said to provide security, but what about the security of intellectual property. Java code is extremely easily decompilable, and you can imagine why corporates are not interested in producing production non-open-source code in Java. They simply won't.

Use the right tool for the right purpose. That's the point.

As for beginning in asm, our community is putting in a lot of effort at producing an excellent reference that is suitable even for beginners! What asm programmers lack is good documentation and good support. Try coding Win32 API in Visual Basic without MSDN, or even knowing only the Visual Basic syntax. It's dead impossible! Visual Basic without its IDE is sick. But certainly one of the greatest environments ever created. Kudos to the VB production team at Microsoft. (Hope ya guys are doin fine... )
