5.0 out of 5 stars Sara Baase's VAX assembler - looking back., February 13, 2001

This review is from: VAX Assembly Language (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

I bought this book in the early eighties when our company moved platform to VMS ; I myself had little exposure to assembler, and I reckoned we'd have to 'get our hands dirty' to write conversions from the discarded platform. As it turned out , this book was a revelation to us. The content was exactly what I needed and the practical examples were of immediate use to us ; also, the clarity of the book made it an easy and enjoyable read. I'm thankful to Ms. Baase for having written this book - any chance of something similar for the Alpha assembler?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great details with examples, June 10, 1999

Dr Baase is my teacher & CS advisor in SDSU, so of course I will recommend this book for others. But besides that, the book is very well organized and full of examples. I need that because it's more practical for me to seee codes with explanations at the same time.

'Vax Assembly Language' is the textbook for my Assembly Language class at the University of New Orleans. It is quite useful, following up each explanation of a concept with a detailed example. The chapters are well organized. Each builds on previously referenced basics which lead to more advanced topics. The excercises throughout the chapters as well as at the end are relevant to the rest of the chapter.
