To preface this discussion, I have very limited amounts of programming experience. Some BASIC years ago, and only a very little bit of C.
Which microprocessor architecture would some of you recommend to someone that doesn't have much experience with assembly language? I suppose the ideal platform would be one with good tools, documentation, and emulators/simulators for testing code. Some processors off the top of my head are the Z80, x86, 6502, 6509, 6512, 68000, ARM, and TMS9900.
I would imagine for a beginner, developing on a platform with a decent amount of BIOS routines would be helpful as well. Also, a platform is easy to learn, yet difficult to master to keep it interesting would be ideal as well.
Would any of you share your experiences and thoughts? I'm interested in both learning and having some fun as well icon_smile.gif
Thanks.
