Purchase options and add-ons

Program in assembly starting with simple and basic programs, all the way up to AVX programming. By the end of this book, you will be able to write and read assembly code, mix assembly with higher level languages, know what AVX is, and a lot more than that.
The code used in Beginning x64 Assembly Programming is kept as simple as possible, which means: no graphical user interfaces or whistles and bells or error checking. Adding all these nice features would distract your attention from the purpose: learning assembly language. The theory is limited to a strict minimum: a little bit on binary numbers, a short presentation of logical operators, and some limited linear algebra. And we stay far away from doing floating point conversions.
The assembly code is presented in complete programs, so that you can test them on your computer, play with them, change them, break them. This book will also show you what tools can be used, how to use them, and the potential problems in those tools. It is not the intention to give you a comprehensive course on all of the assembly instructions, which is impossible in one book: look at the size of the Intel Manuals. Instead, the author will give you a taste of the main items, so that you will have an idea about what is going on. If you work through this book, you will acquire the knowledge to investigate certain domains more in detail on your own.
The majority of the book is dedicated to assembly on Linux, because it is the easiest platform to learn assembly language. At the end the author provides a number of chapters to get you on your way with assembly on Windows. You will see that once you have Linux assembly under your belt, it is much easier to take on Windows assembly.
This book should not be the first book you read on programming, if you have never programmed before, put this book aside for a while and learn some basics of programming with a higher-level language such as C.

What You Will Learn

Discover how a CPU and memory works
Appreciate how a computer and operating system work together
See how high-level language compilers generate machine language, and use that knowledge to write more efficient code
Be better equipped to analyze bugs in your programs
Get your program working, which is the fun part
Investigate malware and take the necessary actions and precautions

Who This Book Is For
Programmers in high level languages. It is also for systems engineers and security engineers working for malware investigators. Required knowledge: Linux, Windows, virtualization, and higher level programming languages (preferably C or C++).

Content is stellar formatting is aweful

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

Content is great. Reading the content on the other hand is an exercise in frustration. I hope author sees this and gives his publisher a call.

I don't know what apress is doing, but did anyone actually look at this book on a device after the kindle version was created? Random font size changes. Bold throughout I find it quite awful. It's a mess. Sadly the image snippets of code examples are par for the course in an etext book of CS or math subjects.

The code is out there on github, so thats really nice. The content so far has been stellar. It's a real shame that the formatting sucks so bad.

Review of the book.

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have not completed the book, I am in chapter 8 and have enjoyed all the chapters I have already completed. The author explains the assembly programming concepts in very simple terms. My only regret is that he did not provide exercises, for the reader to test his/her understanding of the material.

Decent content, but no source code available. Book physical construction very poor.

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2022

Verified Purchase

Could be a five-star book if the source code used in it was available. Author states that it is available, but website given does not lead to any links for downloading source code. So boo and hiss for that. Otherwise, it is a reasonable treatment of x64 assembly language programming in the Linux environment. Some light coverage on tools used: NASM, GDB, DDD, SaSM IDE, and using the CLI. The 64-bit programming model is used, so register names start with r, and the syscall numbers are for 64-bit, as they should be, so if you are coming from the 32-bit world, you'll need to revise your cheat-sheets to match the 64-bit model. For example, the syscall itself is syscall in the 64-bit world and not 0x80; 1 is write, 2 is read, and 60 is exit. One final comment - physical construction of the book is terrible! Pages are off-center, and several of the beginning pages were not seated in the glue properly during construction.

An easy read but very shallow in depth

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

It does get you going but otherwise, I'd skip this book. This is for anyone with a desire/need for a well-curated book with lots of depth; One that will give a more than shallow understanding of the complexities of x64 assembly language. I found myself running to the internet a lot, to fill in the missing gaps. If I wanted that, I would have stuck to internet learning.

Was looking for more (as I tend to find in such books) of a well guided, depth of education.

Exactly what I needed to start with X86 64. This book clearly explains the basics, although you should have some prior knowledge of C (especially pointers & strings) before you start.

Spiegato molto bene

Reviewed in Italy on April 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

Ho preso il libro per avere una conoscenza di base del linguaggio Assembler. Mi è sembrato molto ben spiegato e con esempi pratici. L'unico neo è che orientato per l'Assembler che gira sotto Linux ma con piccole variazioni è possibile usarlo anche sotto Windows. Il compilatore usato è NASM che è multipiattaforma ed è possibile usarlo sia con Linux che con Windows che con macOS.

Klare Empfehlung für Einsteiger

Reviewed in Germany on December 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

Sehr gutes Buch zu kleinem Preis!
Es liefert genau, was der Titel verspricht: Einen guten Einstieg in Assembler-Programmierung für die amd64-Architektur. Dabei werden auch Themen wie SIMD, SSE und AVX behandelt.

Der genutzte Assembler ist NASM und das OS Ubuntu18.04 64-bit.

In den letzten Kapiteln gibt es noch einen kurzen Einstieg in Assembler-Programmierung unter Windows, dort bin ich allerdings noch nicht angelangt.

Insgesamt absolut empfehlenswert!
