4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction, 4 Sep 2005
Very good introduction book for Windows-32bit Assembly programmers.

I just bought this book, and it starts out clean and simple with the convertion ways. i.e. Binary-to-Decimal or Hexadecimal-to-Binary.

Then it discusses registers, flags, segments and offsets. Although the offsets and segments were bad explained.

Then finally we should right-away with programming a simple program in assembly which adds two numbers together. I must say the author did a great job with the examples, and the coding almost explains itself to the reader, so you almost don't have to through-read a section on the "MOV" instruction to understand how he uses it.

I give it 4/5 stars because: Its a good introduction book, but it uses an header file (IO.h) which I think is not included in other assemblers if you should want a new one. I mean, this book is great for an introduction on the subject and explains everything nicely, but the code you make will indeed be very un-portable to other assemblers.

Nice work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very, very nice...., 11 Nov 2003
This is a good book overall. They use colour nicely so that it highlights certain areas of the page and doesn't look over-the-top. It starts right at the basics (representing numbers in binary, computer hardware, etc) and then moves on into actual assembly, the explanations of things (for example 2's complement and related bits) are strange and hard to follow sometimes but that is one of the few things I can fault it on. It has plenty of diagrams, code listings and occasional screenshots to show you what is meant to be going on and tends to explain them well.

If you want to learn assembly then I would suggest at least checking this book out at a store or library and if you like it then get it.
