My First with ARM programming

What you need to know before learning the assembly language: any knowledge of programming will help, even better with prior knowledge of BASIC

My Experience

So I found resources online that will get me started in programming the microcontroller. I was excited initially but my excitement wore off when I realised I'd be programming in ARM on an x86, okay... not as planned.
Well, I found this tool online that gives you an IDE in programming in ARM. It gets you started and you can find more examples on the website (see link below). This IDE is uVision by Keil. I found it pretty cool tbh but I couldn't go further and this is it after couple of hours playing around, it's off my computer!




Unfortunately I didn't take a snapshot of the IDE when it was open, I realised that when I was uninstalling it. I'll be moving on to x86, and I'll keep you posted as I go along. For those who'd like to learn ARM, I'll post my resources below. Please share with us as you get along programming your architecture.
