Examples are given that describe how the Little Man Computer (LMC) Model and its associated assembly language code can be used to illustrate a wide variety of core programming topics including a loader program, relocatable and impure code, array processing, function calls, and multitasking. We share this experience as an example "best practice" for incorporating core programming concepts within a computer engineering course.
