This book is THE book to learn correctly ARM assembly language programming. The author explains everything, even the aspects that seems obvious for expert in ARM and that are a real pain to bigginers. Gibson also succeeded at keeping his book independent from a specific platform, or specific cpu family. The book starts with very short and easy programs and goes deeper in explaining in details all aspects of the instruction set.

I really appreciated it. With the knowlege you got from this book, you can dive in ANY other advanced book on ARM (even ARM doc). You'll be for sure able to read and understand any ASM source code (if you really practice a lot and do all exercices of this book of course).

I contacted the author by mail for various questions, and I must say that I got answers very quickly and M Gibson gave really a lot of interrest and really analysed the problems.

Really very nice.

There is no suggestion of assembler or platform on which to test. Even worse, there is not much assmembly code in the assmembly language book. There are many good books for ARM, such as ARM System Developer's Guide(Sloss et. al), ARM system-on-chip architecture(Furber), ARM Architecture Reference Manual(Seal), ... but I was looking for an introductory assembly language for undergradudate course. This book is not better than information found in the Internet. If I have had a chance to see a few pages before I order it, It would never have bought it. Still I am waiting for a good book for newbies.
