Covering how to practically use it is far too much for a single post (and I don't think I really claimed to teach assembly... I just want to give people the tools they need to start learning assembly). This was mainly to get people to not be scared and start reading asm, which is really the only way you can learn this stuff. In my opinion, writing a hello world in asm is not useful for most people. But learning enough to understand what part of a complex C++ expression caused a program to crash is much easier, and more widely useful. My plan for future posts is to talk about common compiler-generated code patterns to help people recognize what's causing a crash even if they don't understand every line of asm.
