[dorkbotpdx-blabber] assembler on the arduino?

[Greg Borenstein]

Thomas,

You've got it exactly right. Maybe the prof is planning to use exactly  
that C-based method yiyi pointed me, too. I guess I'll find out soon.  
I was mostly just trying to get a head start on some of this stuff  
since I'm going to be playing catch up not ever having taken a formal  
computer science class before. I thought that at least I could be the  
guy who knew how to actually run code!

Anyway, Thomas, I can't find the syllabus online (though I might have  
better info about that after the first class this afternoon).

In the meantime, this seems to have been the previous version of it:

And this is the Professor Fix's courses page:
