From the Publisher

Begins with the most fundamental, plain-English concepts and everyday analogies progressing to very sophisticated assembly principles and practices. Examples are based on the 8086/8088 chips but all code is usable with the entire Intel 80X86 family of microprocessors. Covers both TASM and MASM. Gives readers the foundation necessary to create their own executable assembly language programs.

I am a writer, editor, technologist and contrarian living in Scottsdale, Arizona. Although I've worked as a programmer, I've been in the technical publishing industry (both magazines and books) from 1985 until I retired in 2015. I co-founded Coriolis Group Books in 1989 and ran editorial until the company closed in 2002. Most of my book-length work has been on computer technology. (See ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE STEP BY STEP and LEARN COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE WITH RASPBERRY PI, as well as many more titles now out of print but available used.)

In my loose moments I'm an amateur radio operator (callsign K7JPD), amateur astronomer, and SF writer. My first SF novel, THE CUNNING BLOOD, appeared in 2005 but I have been selling SF stories to magazines and anthologies for 45 years, and was on the final Hugo Awards ballot in 1981.I now have seven volumes of SF and fantasy on KDP Select.

My wife Carol and I met in high school and have been married for 45 years. We live in Scottsdale with two Bichon Frise dogs.

There's more about me on my Web sites: contrapositivediary.com (my blog) junkbox.com (tech projects) and duntemann.com, which is a quick index to all that I've published online.

Not bad, but not enough

I really enjoyed this book, and the author has a great writing style that makes the content accessible to everyone. There are a few things you need to consider before buying this book. First, it was written in the late 80's, so the technology described in the book has long since become obsolete. The author considers the 486 the best processor on the market, but we've come a long way since the 486. It's not as bad as it sounds though, since many of the concepts apply to todays computers and CPU's, and may be a good groundwork to building an understanding of todays complicated computers.

Also, this book probably will -not- teach you assembly language. In fact the title is a little misleading. What this book does do is teach you the inside and outs of how your CPU and memory work, which is almost mandatory if your going to program in assembly language.

You will need to read other books to fully learn assembly language, but this was a great book to start with.

I am not looking to program directly in assembly but in higher based languages with embedded controllers....Bought the book just to learn a bit about assembly though....its a really good book and is full of info that will be helpfull to anyone learning programming in any language as they all are converted to assembly anyway.....never know when you might need some assembly knowledge to solve a problem or tweak a program written in a higher language...author explains things in a really easy to understand way.

Zero to ASM to 1 book

Clear, humorous exposition. Honest admission about the fading relevance of ASM toward the end of the book.

Overall, a great introduction to ASM, even for someone with shallow prior programming experience.

This is a good book and shows and helps with necessary steps to learning this language. I have learned I stumbled on assembly like situtation of using a hex editor to mess around with things in the young ages, or used a hex editor to cheat a game or so.

If you are a first time assembly language programmer this is the book to buy. Excellent groundwork with easy to understand examples. To get anywhere in programming in assembler a more advanced book is a must, But this book makes the step to more advanced assembler a lot easier.
