This book is a must read for every serious developer. I was greatly pleased with the book except that it was a little thin. It is an excellent introduction for assembly language programming and the very effective use of macros. I highly recommend this book for programmers who are interested to write fast and tight code in a high efficient manner. This book needs to be owned by developers doing assembly language programming on a higher level.

I am new to programming in general and will start to learn Assembler next quarter, our instructor has told us that if we learn assembler well, (meaning to document correctly and make our code 'elegant') we will be in the highly sought after group of people they call Professionals. This is of course a great goal. But you know about the alligator/ swamp thing. I am now at this part of the learning curve - so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things -to remember, that it is too easy to just get job done and make it work. Well, Jeff has taken a most unique approach to this problem - he has written a book for absolute beginners - and he does so with out making me fell like I just arrived on the planet. He assumes that you are knowledgeable about your PC and nothing more (how to turn it on, etc) He seems truly interested in making this and his future books to come - a book that we would want to have on our reference shelves for years to come. My highest recommendation for an author would be - if I cared - if he would write another book on this or a related subject. In this case, I am going to write him a letter to ask him to do so. It is, as if I had just read my first book by Clive Cussler and can't wait for the next book to come out.
