    5.0 out of 5 stars has some very helpful information

    assembly language is not something someone wants to start out with, but this will help.
    even if you program in c++ or something else this will give you a better understanding of your code.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and irrelevant techniques for 8-bit CPUs
    Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018
    This book was recommended to me by a friend who acknowledged it was pretty dated but claimed it was the best guide to learning the "right way" of approaching and solving hard assembly optimization problems. Unfortunately, I found the book completely useless, as it focuses on the 8088 assembly and CPU optimization quirks exclusively, and that means that all the problem solving techniques in it revolve around optimizing for the 8088's 8-bit data bus and shallow prefetch queue, which is the major bottleneck of that CPU. None of the techniques and problem solving approaches are applicable to modern CPUs which have deep memory hierarchies, instruction reordering, pipelining, parallelism, etc. This book is just a historical artifact at best and a waste of time and money. (Note that it's also officially and legally available online for free if you want to check for yourself.)
