Book Synopsis
A comprehensive tutorial on programming in assembly using the iconic Game Boy, teaching the basics of computer science in a fun and engaging way. The Game Boy is an iconic handheld console and a remarkable piece of gaming history familiar to people around the world. Game Boy Coding Adventure uses this classic technology to teach assembly language to beginners who have perhaps a passing familiarity with programming but no experience with assembly or computer science. By teaching how the assembly language interacts with the Game Boy's relatively simple hardware, this book takes readers on a fun, hands-on exploration of how to manipulate computer systems through the power of programming. This book imparts a strong understanding of the relationship between hardware and software and the programming techniques to properly leverage that connection.About the Author
