This is great, but does any one have any gentler intros ?
I'm trying to teach low-level programming to one of my junior devs. She graduated from a boot-camp school and is struggling a bit.
EDIT: Thanks for the replies. Alot of good links.

- For concepts as well as execution, from the bottom up (hardware level etc.), I've read that nand2tetris is good. It gets mentioned once in a while here on HN. Check hn.algolia.com for threads about it.
- any good book on assembly language programming. I've looked at Randall Hyde's book earlier, seemed good. There is also another which I think is good, by an American professor called Paul Carter, IIRC.
Googling should find all of those and more.
Like an arduino kit (https://www.arduino.cc/) or ARM mbed (http://mbed.com/).
Either one is fairly low-level (C, or C like), but has plenty of beginner-friendly documentation. And if they progress beyond that, moving down to assembler is supported for both.
