Don't bother with this book. I'm a student taking a class in assembly language, and it's almost hard to believe an author would gloss over so many things and give problems at the end of chapters and chapter segments which he gives no clue whatsoever in the text as to how to solve them. If I were the author, I'd be almost embarassed at some of the laxity in this book's organization. I suppose it might have a few good points, but you'd be better off looking elsewhere.

About the only use I've found for this book is for kindling on those chilly winter nights. Even my assembly professor agrees that you should not waste your money with this one. The exercises are a joke, it's information on flag changes is completely wrong, and there isn't even a decent reference for the most basic of instructions. Go with Irvine, a much better investment.

This is a good book to learn assembly language. The author spends a lot of time on the fundamentals. The author fully explains the effects on the Flag registers after an instruction is executed, and also fully explains the HEX numbering system. The author also does a good job of explaining how interupts work as well as how to use them. This is the only book I have ever fully studied on assembly language and to this day, all the way from writing simple "Hello World" programs to understanding viruses, I have never lacked the knowledge I needed.
