| | :::'''Comments''' |
| | |
| | :::'''NMI-'''''"There was another one from Wrox a number of years(DOS extender era) before this one'' |
| | :::''that I liked. Can't remember the title off hand.'' |
| | |
| | :::''The first review mentions AT&T syntax only. So maybe not the best unless you're sticking with '' |
| | :::'''gas' on Linux. Still it's positive on the basics."'' |
| | |
| | :::'''livinded-'''''"The fact that it's at&t and only focuses on linux isn't a huge issue and depending '' |
| | :::''on what you're interested in may not even be an issue. I'm personally a fan of at&t syntax and have '' |
| | :::''little to no interest in windows, but I will say that it's not horrible difficult to shift back and '' |
| | :::''forth between intel and at&t, at least for reading assembly.'' |
| | |
| | :::'''datagram-'''''"I don't have too many books on assembly, but I would recommend'' |
| | :::''Professional Assembly Language (AT&T syntax) and the Intel IA-32'' |
| | :::''documentation (http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/). It'' |
| | :::''doesn't really matter which type of assembly you learn, but I'd'' |
| | :::''recommend sticking with x86 and Intel or AT&T to make things easy (and'' |
| | :::''applicable to the meeting). I personally like AT&T as a learning tool'' |
| | :::''because it is easy to distinguish between registers, literal values,'' |
| | :::''and memory locations (this was one of the stumbling blocks at the'' |
| | :::''meeting, too). Aside from that there's no real difference in the same'' |
| | :::''way that there's no huge difference between little endian and big'' |
| | :::''endian. I've grown accustomed to AT&T just because most of the Linux'' |
| | :::''tools use that by default.'' |

| | ::'''Assembly Language Step-by-Step: Programming with DOS and Linux''' |
| | :::http://www.amazon.com/Assembly-Language-Step---step-Programming/dp/0471375233/ |
| | |
| | :::'''Comments''' |
| | |
| | :::'''NMI-'''''"The Duntemann book. Uses NASM(Netwide Assembler). I've heard good things about this one,'' |
| | :::''but never really looked at it. '' |
| | |
| | |
| | ::'''Introduction to 80x86 Assembly Language and Computer Architecture''' |
| | :::http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Assembly-Language-Computer-Architecture/dp/0763772232/ |
| | |
| | :::'''Comments''' |
| | |
| | :::'''NMI-'''''"The price is insane(~$75), but used it's tolerable(~$11). The first review says "When you '' |
| | :::''finish the book, you may understand assembly, but you won't know what to do with it (or what you can '' |
| | :::''do with it). Nor is it thorough enough to be used as a reference material for work. It omits quite a '' |
| | :::''few processor instructions that I feel are important to know for reference."'' |
| | |
| | :::''The other two are much more positive."'' |

| | ::'''Dr. Paul Carter's PC Assembly Tutorial''' |
| | :::See below 'Web sites' for link |
| | |
| | :::'''From the author:''' ''"I grew frustrated at teaching 16-bit real mode programming and'' |
| | :::''decided to change to 32-bit protected mode. However, I soon ran into a'' |
| | :::''problem. I could not find a textbook that covered 32-bit protected'' |
| | :::''mode assembly programming! So, I decided to write my own. I also did'' |
| | :::''not want students to have to go out and buy expensive software for the'' |
| | :::''course. I decided to base the course on the free NASM (Netwide'' |
| | :::''Assembler) and the free GNU gcc compiler (however, any 32-bit C'' |
| | :::''compiler would work). Another advantage of these choices was that'' |
| | :::''students could use Windows, Linux or FreeBSD to develop on. (In fact,'' |
| | :::''I use Linux for my main development platform.)'' |
