Unless you're digging deep into the parts of the kernel which do memory management and mode switching, you won't have a genuine need for assembly language, but there is some value in learning it. In assembly you see the mechanics of how everything is declared as physical memory -- local variables in C are stack-segment variables in assembly, global variables in C are data-segment ones in assembly, functions are memory addresses in code-segment in both C and assembly, etc, etc. C is technically not dependent on stacks or segments, but I dare you to show me a modern system which doesn't have these in some way.

amd64 is x86 with more and larger registers. Most instructions are the same, but more options are allowed for them.

Monop is a tool that allows you to view the outline of a class. You can see the signature of each member of the class. Use monop to explore 1.0 assemblies, use monop2 to explore 2.0 assemblies. The tool takes one option, the class to view. You must specify the full name of the class, including namespace. For generic classes, you must specify the generic arguments, for example: monop2 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1' The above is the string representation for the List<T> in System.Collections.Generic If you are unsure of the full name of the class, you can use the `--search' option to search through all known assemblies.
