; This page helps people how to understand assembly programming related resources
for students
; If you start to lern a new project, or find a resource to do your projects
please look at it some samples definitely might help you.
; please let me know -- I will add it
to your page here for other people use our source.
;
; Note that This site just for TUTORING site and OPEN rources for everybody.
projects:
; various UNIX projects written in assembly language
; of course all of them feature extremely small size
; if you're looking for source code and examples, here they are

There are quite a lot of mixed C-assembly projects, like GNU MP library, ATLAS/BLAS, OpenGUI, FreeAmp, just to name few. Also see source code of your kernel and libc. All this will provide you examples of assembly programming on different hardware platforms.
