This class has gotten really confusing in ASM, and I think I moved into it probably prematurely. I've decided to post what I have right now, to get people started. I can't cover everything in one class either. Please post here all of your questions so others with the same ones can answer it. It's at least an intro.
Frankly, the best thing to do is buy a mips book, learn mips, then it'll all fall into place. Anyways if this helps, there'll def need to be a class 6 since I barely scratched the surface.
