5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, 27 Jun 1999

By A Customer

I taught myself assembly language originally from this book. Although it is quite dated now, it's still a great way to learn assembler. All explanations are clear, and the book has a nice organization. From here, you can jump on to more advanced topics, and catch up with the latest tech by reading manuals from chip makers, etc..

This book is worth a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Teaching Book for Assembly Language, 12 Nov 1998

By A Customer

Tom Swan has created another excellent tutorial book. I spent a year of lunch time reading on this one. Excellent progression of ideas. In the end I went from being a complete novice of assembly language to writing standalone assembler for Windows applications - and being comfortable with it! Excellent tutorial on the more advanced uses of the Borland Debugger CPU view.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lucid writing, but weak coverage of 1994 CPUs., 6 Jun 1998

By A Customer

Nice coverage of software topic. OOP, interfacing to C, etc. However, assembly language is inherently hardware specific. Swan's (C)'95 book doesn't do much with '386,'486, nor Pentium CPUs which were out circa '93. Selector registers, the tag register used to toggle 16/32-bit MODES & hence "flat thunking" slighted. If you use DOS, this book seems excellent. If you use WinDOS 95, MasterClass Asm.Lang. also '95 from Wrox may be better.
