Assembly question

does the book explained good enough for basic assembly?.and how did you take for mastering assembly?

[peleon]

i'm not a asm guru...but for those of you who start learning ASM, my advice is to make small examples in asm and debug them under a debugger. It's when you see the registers/memory "changing" under the debugger, when you start getting a solid knowledge in asm.

If you want an introduction ebook, try Assembly Language Step by Step. It's published in 1992, so it's pretty new (for assembly), and it starts very basic, including how to count to hex and binary.

I may say it could be more useful than the Art of Assembly since this is directed as assembler proper (if I recall, doesn't Art of Assembly focus on HLA?).

Anyway, you can get it at the runnet site: fxp://ftp.runnet.ru/BOOKS/, file name is ASSEMBLY_LANGUAGE__STEP_BY_.ZIP, just 6.4Mbs.

I started with the Art of Assembly and I must say I found it to be really good beginner book.
Apparently there are now different version, the socalled dos version which is the older version and deals with real assembly and the windows and linux version which focuses on HLA.

So the dos version is the best choice if you want to learn real assembly and can be found in pdf at hxxp://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/DOS/index.html
The zip file of all the pdf is : hxxp://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/DOS/pdfaoa.zip

You mean this one : http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/DOS/pdf/0_AoAPDF.html or http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/DOS/pdf/0_AoAPDF.html ?.please direct only plz
