Hey Guys,

I actually know what assembly is.... Its a programming language that is really old... but still powerfull...Right?? Well, i got a few questions about it... so any help you can give would be great

#1. Is assembly a good "First programming language"??? I have started learning C++ but it is extreamly difficult.. Not to mention the "best" compiler is owned by M$

#2. Where can I find an Assembly compiler??? I have a C++ compiler...Visual C++ it cost me tons of $$$.. Will an assembly compiler cost just as much???

#3. Are there any assembly tutorials out there??? Wait.. stupid question (Ha! caught myself that time) There are some in the "Tutorials" section of the forums right? If their are any others that you recommend... plz inform me

Thanks alot for takin the time to read this post... And help a Newbie get into the game
