retx86-64 assembly is the programming language for the 64-bit version of the x86 instruction set. It is based on the original 8086 instruction set from 1978.
Assembly language is different from high-level languages like C# and Java. There are no variables, objects, or loops. Instead, you'll have to deal with registers, memory addresses, and jumps.
Learning assembly can be intimidating at first, but it will give you a better understanding in how your computer works. It might even improve your programming skills in higher level languages.

Exercism is fantastic in learning new languages but that is not the extent of it. If you are a "more experienced" programmer you may have encountered impostor syndrome: the idea you don't really know what you think you know. Exercism lets you solve problems and put them in the space of open feedback which is a tremendous learning opportunity to explore the depth of your own knowledge. Even if you have been programming in a language for awhile it is worth checking into Exercism to see where you stand with current implementation practices.
Once you join the x86-64 Assembly language track, you will receive support and feedback from our team of mentors. Here are the bios of a few of the mentors of this track.
These are a few of the 16 exercises on the x86-64 Assembly track. You can see all the exercises here.
The x86-64 Assembly Maintainers are the brains behind the x86-64 Assembly Track. They spend their spare time creating interesting and challenging exercises that we can all learn from. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work. Here are the bios of a few of the maintainers of this track.
