Week 1: Lecture - Introduction to the SPO600 course

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog.

This is the first week of the course called SPO600, which stands for Software Portability and Optimization.

During the first week we had an introduction to the course. We have talked about porting, portability, benchmarking, profiling, optimization, build process and about setup needed for the course. In addition, we talked about binary representation of data for integers, floating and fixed point numbers, sound, images and different compression techniques. Also, we had an introduction to computer architecture and introduction to the assembly language on 6502 processor.

Throughout this course I hope to learn more about creating, improving and releasing software and also about open source development.
