FREE PROPELLER WEBINAR:
Propeller Assembly Language Programming
Join us to learn Propeller Assembly Language programming!
Have you been programming the Propeller in the Spin language exclusively? Now is your chance to explore a new set of possibilities that the Propeller Assembly Language delivers. Expert Propeller developers often use a combination of Assembly and Spin to create very powerful objects. Now you can too!
Some of the topics we’ll cover include:
- Why use Propeller Assembly?
- Propeller Assembly “building blocks”
- Conditional execution
- Timing
- Addressing
- Memory usage
- Communication between cogs (Assembly/Spin)
- More advanced topics as time permits
This will be hosted as a live presentation using a mixture of prepared and impromptu materials. Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions (either verbally or via chat window) throughout the meeting, however the last 15 minutes will be a designated Q & A session.
Who Should Attend?
- Existing Propeller users of a beginner or intermediate skill level; familiar with Spin and curious about Propeller Assembly.
- Non-Propeller users with a good working knowledge of other assembly languages.
- Those who tried Propeller Assembly in the past and need further instruction.
About the Host: Jeff Martin is a long-time Parallax employee who has been heavily involved with many Parallax products, including the Propeller chip since it was first envisioned. He has a background in Computer Science and a love for programming. He writes software and technical documentation for Parallax and enjoys teaching anyone who is willing to learn more.
Discuss "All Things Propeller" with Chip Gracey and Jeff Martin at UPEW
Join Chip Gracey and Jeff Martin for a Propeller question and answer session during UPEW; the Unofficial Propeller Expo - West show. We will also have a guest speaker, Hanno Sander (maker of Viewport for the Propeller), who will discuss and demonstrate his development tools.
We will pack our Training Room with all the UPEW attendees that can fit and will gladly accept as many remote attendees as our webinar system can handle! The topics will be driven by attendee questions (both local and remote) as long as it's Propeller related.
About the Hosts: Chip is the designer of the Propeller chip; a no-frills kind of guy with lots of practical engineering experience over the last 30 years. Jeff is a long-time Parallax employee who has been heavily involved with many Parallax products including the Propeller chip since it was first envisioned.
Who Should Attend?
- Individuals unfamiliar with the Propeller who want to know more
- Existing Propeller users of any skill level; beginners, intermediates, and experts
Other Details: This webinar is open to up to 1000 attendees. The session will be recorded and made available for free from the Parallax website for the benefit of all. Attendees may ask questions verbally (phone or VOIP) or by typing them into the webinar's questions window.

Meet Parallax's Leading Education Author, Andy Lindsay
A question and answer session with the Parallax Applications Engineer who designed and documented the Propeller Education (PE) Kit
We invite you for an informal webinar with Andy Lindsay, Applications Engineer, Stamps in Class author, and traveling educator.
Andy developed the Propeller Education Kit to give students in college design courses a quick start with the multiprocessing Propeller Microcontroller for their Projects. (He really wishes the Propeller chip was around back when he did his electrical engineering senior project!) Andy has been adding resources to the Propeller Education Kits sticky thread based on requests from local professors and students and showing others where these resources are and how they can be used. He is now looking forward to showing a larger audience where these resources are and how to use them as well as to expand his list of items to add to the resource pool.

Meet Chip Gracey, Designer of the Propeller
A question and answer session with the guy who created the Propeller chip
That's right - we're making Chip accessible to our customers! This hasn't happened before and it won't be a frequent occurrence in the future. We're limiting this webinar to 24 attendees; consider your free reservation as a solid commitment.
Chip will talk about the Propeller 1 (P8X32A) processor, focusing in on the Spin programming language and Propeller design. This is topic-based webinar driven with a question - answer format. Chip is a no-frills guy with lots of practical engineering experience over the last 30 years, spanning product development efforts from the original Commodore 64 "ISEPIC" hardware to the BASIC Stamp and Propeller.

Meet Parallax's Propeller Senior Software Engineer, Jeff Martin
A question and answer session with the Propeller IDE Creator
We invite you for an informal webinar with Jeff Martin, a long-time Parallax employee who has been involved with the Propeller design since it was first envisioned.
Jeff will show you some Propeller IDE tricks, will talk about some of the enhancements under development, and will discuss features of the Propeller and its Spin and Assembly languages. Of course, this webinar is for our customers and is an informal format, so you can ask Jeff any questions you'd like about the Propeller as long as they have to do with programming and the IDE. He's a really nice person and we've been a fortunate company to have Jeff as part of the team. He also listens as well as he speaks, so this is a webinar you won't want to miss!
