CPU Basics

Why learn CPU Basics?

Understanding what actually goes on inside the very core of a microprocessor, the CPU is key to properly understanding how the C Programming language works, this is because the C Programming language is so closely coupled to how the CPU itself works.

You can start learning about C programming without understanding what goes on inside a CPU, but it will be years of practice before you really understand why there's things like a stack, and why everything has an address.

Understanding the basic principles of how a CPU operates will put you in a good position to better understand C programming.

Here are some free online resources to get you started learning about how a CPU really works...

Once you've learned all about how a CPU works...
