This is probably heresy on this forum, but I'm temped to say forget assembly and other archaic languages and just learn how to make IOS or Andriod apps.
Good heavens. Forums, heresy, etc notwithstanding, assembly language is no more "archaic" than C, BASIC, FORTRAN, or Forth, all of which have been discussed in this thread. C++, the newest of those listed above, dates back well over thirty years. And FORTRAN, since we're throwing around terms like "archaic", while the oldest of the languages listed above, just had another standard released seven years ago. That's pretty recent in language circles, especially for ones the trendy kids mistakenly believe aren't used anymore. Let's try to keep some perspective here. Language "age" is pretty close to being completely irrelevant, and not just for the purposes of Evan's thread. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
