## What it is
An open-source tutorial teaching AMD64/x86-64 assembly language programming, aimed at novices and beginners. It covers fundamentals like number bases, memory, registers, addressing modes, and commonly used instructions.

## Use cases
- learn x86-64 assembly language from scratch
- understand how CPU registers and memory work
- study AMD64 instruction set and addressing modes
- learn low-level programming concepts like stacks and the ALU
- understand ELF files and how the loader works
- transition from high-level languages to assembly

## When to choose
- you are a beginner wanting to learn assembly for AMD64/Intel 64-bit processors
- you want a free, structured tutorial covering assembly fundamentals
- you want to understand low-level concepts like paging, MMU, and instruction sets

## When to avoid
- you need ARM, RISC-V, or other non-x86 assembly instruction
- you are an expert looking for advanced optimization techniques
- you need a formal textbook or certification material
