Assembly Language
This updates the article at:
Assembly Language for Not Yet Techies
Trying to get news and updates for assembly language
is similar to asking for news and updates on a
granite mountain. If it hasn't been at least
several centuries, why even bother? Assembly
language remains strong and stury under operating
systems and higher level languages.
Basically, nothing can and does happen with assembly
language except that it must be expanded with
different CPUs of different computer models and
different operating systems.
But all the new developments come at the higher
level languages. The machine keep becoming more
more powerful, but the principles behind the
hardware remain the same.
Therefore, so does assembly language.

ASP.NET
This updates the article at:
ASP.NET for Not Yet Techies
The official name for the next version -- 2.0 --
is ASP.NET Whidbey. It is currently in beta,
so ASP.NET 1.1 is the official current version.
According to Microsoft, ASP.NET is the fastest
growing web development platform in the world.
I could not find any explanation for the code
name, "Whidbey" -- maybe it's the last name of
the project manager.
Their goals are to make ASP.NET more productive
for developers, more popular with managers and
faster for web site visitors.
They do plan to keep it backward compatible
with ASP.NET 1.1, the current version.
