5.0 out of 5 stars Optimizing Assembly with C as an infrastructure, January 15, 2001

This review is from: Optimizing C with Assembly Code: Secret Rules of Assembler with 3.5 Disk (Paperback)
This is one of the very few books that can help a person improve their skill in assembly as well as many of the common optimization and pitfalls for speed. Since it's rather old, it handles only up to the 486 but is very useful nonetheless.

Don't buy this book expecting to be handheld, it expects (and demands) an intelligent programmer who knows what they are doing to get good mileage. If you're a beginner, you're better off with another book - this is really for the competent C programmer who knows a bit of assembly and knows what to expect from the 80x86 architecture.

If you're an assembly programmer who wants to cycle count and tweak those algorithms for extra cycles of speed, this is your book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good starter, June 16, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Optimizing C with Assembly Code: Secret Rules of Assembler with 3.5 Disk (Paperback)
A good starting point for programmers who crave to make their codes ever so faster. A backgound in C and Assembly is essential for the readers. This book is rewarding and worth the money.
