One bit of advice I give to every beginner is to write a rudimentary "Hello World" program, as simple as you can, and then translate it into binary (or Hex) manually.

For this as a beginner's exercise, I think "Blinky" might be more appropriate?
(ie, a simple program that just flashes a single LED on a single port pin)

there's a "rule" about using as descriptive a subject as possible. I'm not sure it still matters, since the redesigned site now uses the Predatory Pedophile Protection Agency (aka Google) as its search engine and I believe they produce results based on the whole body of each post

Yes, it does search the whole post, but only the topic headings are given in full in the results - hence meaningful titles are important!

My point is that pretty much every problem you will encounter as a beginning student, and frankly most problems you'll encounter thereafter, have been experienced and discussed right here.

Absolutely!
