Product Description

Product Description

Designed for undergraduate courses in assembly language programming.

Concentrating on the MS-DOS operating system and using short applications, this complete and fully updated study of assembly language for the IBM-PC helps students learn the basics of operating systems and architecture in the context of a microprocessor, and teaches them how to approach programming problems with a machine-level mindset. Based on the Intel 80x86 processor family, it simplifies and demystifies concepts that must be understood before students go on to study computer architecture or computer operating systems in more advanced courses. The text provides hundreds of short examples that show how assembly language may be applied to useful problems.



From the Back Cover


66039-9

Designed for students and professionals interested in learning the basics of operating systems and architecture in the context of a microprocessor. In his third edition, Kip Irvine concentrates on the combined Windows/MS-DOS operating system and thoroughly covers assembly language for Intel-based computers.

Focusing on how to approach programming problems with a machine-level mindset, Assembly Language for the Intel-Based includes the following features:

  • All programs tested with the Microsoft( MASM 6.11( assembler and the Borland( TASM 4.0( assembler.
  • Deconstructs and analyzes the bit-level encoding of machine instructions.
  • Includes examples of linking to C / C++ programs in both Real and Protected modes. Shows how to write in-line assembly code in C++.
  • Introduces all non-protected 32-bit instructions, shows how to perform 32 bit arithmetic. Includes a tutorial on using floating-point instructions.
  • Improved keyboard and video information, including a bitmap display, ISR, and TSR examples. Includes a new section on writing characters and attributes directly to video RAM.

CD-ROM includes the full professional version of the Microsoft( MASM 6.11( Assembly Language Development System, a programmer's editor, a macro library, and the book's source code.

CD-ROM includes a valuable link library that may be used by students for console I/O in all of their programs.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide, perhaps the best there is, 16 April 2001
By C. C. Williams - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is the most complete guide to Intel Assembly Language that I've come across. Most Assembler books suffer from being years out of date and making the curious assumption that you couldn't possibly want to program anything higher than a 286. Irvine's book is both reasonably current and acknowledges that we live in a 32-bit world. Heck, it even covers programming the x87 FPU which is something that other authors presume that you would never dream of doing. There are some complaints about the content, however. Much of the DOS-based material is now so outdated as to be useless and many of the programming examples might be better as Win32 console applications. I would like to see video displays more advanced than standard VGA addressed as well. Generally, however, the content is comprehensive and well explained. The comparatively useless 'Assembler Insde And Out' was given away free with Microsoft MASM 6.11. MASM 6.11 is given away free with 'Assembly Language for Intel-based Computers'. Do you need any further reason to buy this excellent book?

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb programming resource, 13 Oct 2002
I recommend this as THE text to own on assembly language. It is the only book I can find out there which assumes you will be working in 32-bit protected mode, and only teaches 16-bit real mode as an option in the latter part of the book (which I have no complaints about, Intel's own guide to their chipsets do the same). The explanations are clear and Irvine hasn't riddled the book with crap jokes and "humourous" analogies which seems to be typical of programming authors at the moment. This is a serious and direct text which explains everything from the perspective that an assembly language programmer would like to learn from. Plus, there is a whole section on working with windows, so by the end of the book you will be able to code an entire windows program in pure assembler.

5.0 out of 5 stars Using it to drop others into the assembly world, 8 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Rarely you find the right guide to teach others a whole language. And to teach all the topics of a language is often a hard work to do, but if you are going to teach just a part of it, or an introduction in order to the students can walk over the language by them selves the most common thing you find is that most of the books are written for those who have already programmed or for those who want to learn step by step from beggining to end.

But this... this is an excelent book for both of them.

If someone wants to look for a subject, it ok to use it as a reference guide because it provides all the help needed. If some other wants to watch at an specific part of the language, it is the apropiate book to look for. If there is a programmer interested in assembly language and he/she has no idea of what it is or what it is used for, in this pages there is all the information to learn step by step.

And if you're, as I am, a teacher, and need a guide to guide students through the assembly, Kip R. Irvine wrote this book for us. It's an excelent book for all purposes and I bet you'll be satisfied while using it to drop others into the assembly world.

Sorry my English, but the truth most be known.
