   I'm preparing a brief (15 minutes) assembly programming course for the   
   general workings of assembly language on the i386 and later CPUs, but   
   mostly focused on the i386's base architecture and design.   
      
   For a 15 minute class to people who typically operate in something like   
   python, Java, maybe a little C++, what would you suggest I offer them?   
      
   I think my goals would be to explain the fundamental nature of the CPU   
   core, such as things like registers, memory, I/O, integer and FPU, and   
   how things are done step-wise to process things they take for granted,   
   like "pi = 3.14159;".   
      
   Any assistance would be appreciated.
