Product Description
Product Description
Begins with the most fundamental, plain-English concepts and everyday analogies progressing to very sophisticated assembly principles and practices. Examples are based on the 8086/8088 chips but all code is usable with the entire Intel 80X86 family of microprocessors. Covers both TASM and MASM. Gives readers the foundation necessary to create their own executable assembly language programs.

This book is excellent at what it's for. It is to help you understand the mechanics behind assembly language. No, it doesn't go into machine cycles for all commands, or explain the minute details. What it does do is explain the Intel proccesor and how it reacts to machine code and memory. After reading the book you can write your own program, though it would not be to useful. But as he says in the book, you'll have a clear understanding when you pick up a more advanced book. You won't be thrown off where others left out detail. He uses alot of metaphores, and even asks some obvious questions for you. It is truly a good book. My only criticism of this book is all the mistakes as the book progresses. There is a example where he wants to explain LEA, and he does, but the program that the sample is from uses OFFSET instead! None-the-less the snippet mentions LEA. Also, an embarrasing mistake, the reference for PUSH gives examples of POP. There are a few more as well. If it wasn't for the mistakes I would give this book a 9 on a scale of ten. The last point being withheld because I thought a few areas could have used more clarification. However, most of these things can be figured out by yourself. Please, don't get me wrong, it is an excellent book, and you'll be very happy that you bought it.

If you are a first time assembly language programmer this is the book to buy. Excellent groundwork with easy to understand examples. To get anywhere in programming in assembler a more advanced book is a must, But this book makes the step to more advanced assembler a lot easier.
Format:Paperback
If you don't know a thing or two about programming, buy this book, it's realy easy to understand and you get a basic knowledge of how to program in assembly.

simply excellent
While the book is a little dated, it is by far the best introductory text on assembly I have found. Concepts are explained thoroughy and backed up with solid examples.

easy to understand, some laughs, detailed, so very nice book
Starts from the beginning, so some basics are explained, explains everything in a fairly under- standble way, for almost everybody! Some funny stories are added! Read more

for newcomers to PCs but doesn't oversimplyfy, EXCELLENT
With little background in computers, but a desire to take Assembly Language! and learn more... I was floundering in the class. (Irvine text) I got this book. Read more

Great book. But for beginers only.
Jeff has a great way of explaining PC the architecture. But he dosent go very far in to assembly langauge, just the basics. Read more

Not for students!
I felt that this book did not give much reference to the language itself but more so on good programming habits. Read more

Very complete book on assembly language
After reading this book I had a very complete base knowledge of assembly language. It not only addresses assembly language but also some other hardware aspects in a computer. Read more

The book is good for understanding but not programming .
I read this book 3 times. Yes, I did have a better understanding of assembly language and even wrote some very simple programs but I was not able to walk away and start... Read more

Excellent Introduction into ASM
Jeff Duntemann got the right idea when writing this book. Instead of trying to teach every aspect of assembly language, he starts from the ground up and explains everything in a... Read more

Jeff delivers a clear explination of ASM from square one.
The only reason this book didn't get a 10 was becuase that it did not already include his ASM Editor, JED. I know C/C++, BASIC, etc. and wanted to take my knowledge further. Read more
