I’ve recently retired from the business and glad I did. New languages come out too often. And anybody around the world can write programs now.
I, 1989, I taught myself assembly for the Motorola HC11, which I used in the SafeGuard individual cylinder knock controller. When the HC11 became obsolete, I upgraded to the 9S12. That was scary for me, I put it off as long as I could.
When I get an idea for something new, I still code in assembly. I draw flowcharts and write psuedo assembly, then hand code, then type it into CodeWarrior and try it out.
I think in registers and counters and hardware and interrupts. I just can’t seem to get my head into C. I have a few books on the shelf, and many links to tutorials, but I can’t relate general C to C for processors.
Is there a cure?
