Product Description

Product Description
This book/disk set provides programmers with insights into the inner system functions of Microsoft Windows, from the BIOS and the hardware to virtual machines and real-time events. It shows how to manage hardware access efficiently, and provides tips for effective interfacing with C++ programming. The book gives the how-to information and example code advanced software developers need for the full range of Windows system programming, from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95. The disk includes example programs, source code, documentation and utilities. Barry Kauler is the author of "PC Architecture and Assembly Language" and "Flow Design for Embedded Systems".

From the Author
Link to further information about the book
I write Windows applications in 100% assembly language -- amazing but true! To find out how easy it is, have a look at the book. You can find an example program at my web site, plus a whole lot more information about the book: http://www.arrowweb.com/goofee/ The book introduces the PC and CPU architectures, assembly language, DOS-Win interface, Windows 3.x and 95, ring 0, VxDs -- goes through everything, so is an excellent TEXTBOOK. Even if you end up programming in Visual C++, having all this low-level knowledge under the belt is a solid foundation.

2.0 out of 5 stars Highly disappointing, 29 Jul 1998
By A Customer
His first edition on 16-bit was very well written and covered nearly every subject on writing Windows programming in assembler. His second edition is just a rehash of the first edition with a few 32-bit tidbits tossed in among code that will not compile in either TASM or MASM.

Granted, it's the only book available on this subject, so you might was well buy it, but clearly the author didn't spend much time on this edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Files on the included disk DO NOT assemble., 7 May 1998
By A Customer
Good book for the programmer who uses assembly and would like to cross over from DOS to Windows, however, the constant confusion between MASM and TASM with insufficient clarification and then writing a program using Borland's C++ and telling the user to use Microsoft's NMAKE.EXE instead of Borland's MAKE.EXE because Borland's is different without showing why is a little absurb. I have had TASM 4.0 for several years and enjoyed writing DOS assembly programs, but I do not wish to go out and buy MASM just to satisfy the author. In addition, having to buy anything else to supplement a book when you already have good programs should not be necessary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading for Assembly Language Programmers., 26 Mar 1998
By A Customer
It is indeed pleasing to see work of this calibre coming from fellow countrymen (Australia). Barry's book opens doors that were previously either invisible or firmly closed in the eyes of MS-DOS real mode assembly programmers.

His approach of 'begin at the beginning' makes sure that the reader has the basics before attempting to absorb new information. For those who like to scan through the pages, you may reach the conclusion that the contents are daunting. If you read from the beginning however, you discover that whilst the learning curve is STEEP, and there is a LOT of information to absorb, the layout and approach is logical and not half as difficult as first impressions.

It is also pleasing to see that Barry appreciates that some of the material, whilst useful and neccessary, is very dry reading. The injection of a little humor breaks what would otherwise be boring. (eg: pp99 "ALL OF THIS STUFF DOWN TO CREATEWIN IS PRETTY HORRIBLE, SO LET YOUR EYES GLAZE OVER AND READ QUICKLY ONWARD TO CREATEWIN:").

In conclusion, whilst not a complete reference on all matters regarding assembly language programming in the 'Windows' environment, this book certainly gives you the feeling of having been given the 'rosetta stone'. With the provided further reading references, an MS-DOS programmer should be able to effiencently convert to the new world of 'Windows'.
