Clements demonstrates that the 68000 assembler language is a very logical and clean one. With none of that segmented memory nonsense of the 1980s Intel architecture. Having a flat address space makes your coding far simpler. Perhaps you might not appreciate this from a reading of Clements, if you have never had any experience with the other chip set. But those who have will certainly thank Motorola.

As this review is written in 2005, the 68000 family is still selling well. It has a heavy presence in embedded microcontrollers and real time systems, for example. So if your company wants you to code in the 68000, the book is still germane.

Good book, a little dry though. Does teach whats necessary, at least the concept. Quite a bit outdated, but once again a good stepping stone for learning. Do not use the compiler given, instead use Easy68K. Download it online, its got slightly different syntax, but most will not notice it.

Like many of you looking at this book, I was required to take an assembly language course for my degree. For those of you new to assembly language, it is a horribly frustrating way to write simple programs. This book does a mediocre job at introducing the language, with emphasis on theory rather than implementation. If you're going to actually write assembly language programs, you'll definitely need more help than this book offers.

this book came in pretty crappy condition, binding is very weak and feels like the book is about to fall apart. not a very honest seller. FIRST BAD EXPERIENCE ON AMAZON, will never buy from this seller again.
