I just had a quick look at the overview of the course you proposed and think this would be a fantastic starting point for anyone interested in this topic.

Brings back a lot of memories for me but I had to do it less structured and a lot harder :-)

Paul Watts I am glad you agree ^^. I plan this one for myself for quite a while now :) but I never find the time to actually do it. Maybe I start a meetup/learning group so it forces me to do it ;D ....

I agree with j's answer, the payoff of learning Assembly probably isn't as high as other topics like, programming paradigms, distributed systems, and data storage. I think a better investment would be to learn several high level languages, over the course of several years:

• A compiled language
• A functional or "other paradigm that is new" to you language

Next, learning C would be a good choice to learn low level details and how modules of code are linked together under the hood.

Lastly, Assembly. Many, many years down the road.

I learned Raspberry PI assembly very, very late into my career. A year or two later, I did the nand2Tetris, which was really awesome.

For me, a good rough guide is to learn a new language every 18 months. Rust is my current hobby horse.

"A functional or 'other paradigm that is new' to you language..."

Excellent suggestion!
