MASM + Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 + Windows 10 + First MASM Project + Kip Irvine Libraries

This tutorial shows you how to install Visual Studio 2015 (Community...a free edition) and create your first program/project using the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) and Kip Irvine's x86 libraries. At the end, we create two simple programs that demonstrate basic functionality such as debugging, adding and console screen output. Please note that writing MASM code in Visual Studio is not a primary use of Visual Studio, and thus, there are some short-comings as you will see toward the end of the video (I apologize that this video is a little sloppy, it's kind of the nature of the beast of working with assembly). The most important thing is that the code can be executed, even if it unfortunately shows some false errors in your code.
