Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect to familiarize oneself with BEGINNING assembly.

This book is great for assembly beginners. The author has a great style of writing that is casual, compelling, at times humorous, and most importantly, honest and instructive. What stymies most newcomers is the lack of explanation of details, which is positively essential when learning assembly, due to its fairly arcane nature. This is where the author shines. Before I read this book, I had difficulty with the concept of memory segments, but Step-by-Step provided an easily understood explanation of what they were, what they do, and how to use them. Another essential tool for the aspiring assembly programmer that is explained in this book is DOS's progam DEBUG. The author devotes enough time on this subject so that you, the programmer can actually utilize some of DEBUG's main features. The book also introduces a few of DOS's and the BIOS's system services that are directly available to assembly programs. Each service that the author discusses is thoroughly covered and shouldn't leave anyone dissatisfied.
Of course, no book can cover "it all" (except maybe the Good Book). You'll need to buy more after this. Just think of Step-by-Step as a "primer" (you couldn't expect to read and understand War and Peace if you can't understand Run-away Bunny). This book is writen by a 30-year veteren of assembly language (among other languages) and of technology and electronics in general. His knowledge is vast and he understands that imposing that vast knowledge on a beginner all at once would be illogical. So, in the authors own words, this book is intended to help you learn how to learn assembly. I'm sure you've heard it before in other tech-book reviews: "You won't be a/n <insert something> wiz once you finish reading this book." But you'll at least get out of the starting-gate with a decent grasp of assembly. A cool feature is that the book contains a CD with an excellent FREE assember called NASM, among various other necessities. The newness of the book is also refreshing (published in 2000).
I'm rating this book with 5 stars because I really believe that it will get a person of moderate intelligence comfortable with beginning assembly coding and assembling/linking. Of course, if you consider yourself a bit more than moderately intelligent, then perhaps an assembly book other than this one will suit you better.
PS- Some prior programming experience would be helpful with your comprehension of the material in this book. What is ABSOLUTELY essential is the FIRM grasp of binary numbers, hexadecimal numbers! Thankfully, the book devotes some time to this topics discussion.

5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend highly for any Assembly beginner
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2000

Like everyone else I've ever met who's looked into learning assembly, I had a little trouble comprehending how everything fit together. I'd heard wonderful things about Duntemann's last edition of Assembly Language: Step by Step, so I decided to purchase the updated linux version. Duntemann's 600+ page book slowly guides the beginner into an understanding of Assembly. Don't be confused by the book's size - this book will NOT make an expert - perhaps not even an intermediate programmer. Instead, this book teachers the basics of assembly and provides a decent background into the workings of computer memory, the cpu, and other concepts that EVERY programmer should know. This book can't be given a higher recommendation for anyone looking to start in assembly - Duntemann has a way of explaining (and re-explaining) through metaphors that enhance comprehension. Anyone who already has a background in this material will be amazed by the extreme explanations ("a whole CHAPTER on hex and binary! "), but it's really the perfect way to pound the knowledge in. By the end of the book, the reader will know so much more about assembly - and how/why it works. Just don't expect to be a highly skilled professional.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Starter for Assembly Language
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2003

Learning assembly language for the first time is often a harrowing experience. It can be greatly worse if you are trying to learn it on your own. For those of you who are trying to do just that with x86 assembler, this is a great starting point. This text opens by covering the basics of arcitecture as well as binary and hexadecimal, giving the future assembly programmer a background in the all-important workings of the computer. While far from a thorough approach of x86 assembly, this book is one of the best introductions possible for independently learning low-level programming.
For beginners in low-level programming, I give this 5 stars. For those with previous (non-x86) low-level programming experience, I give this 3 stars (due to its treatment of rudimentary subjects with which they would already be familiar). This text is not recommended for individuals who have had x86 programming experience unless it is to be used as a quick "refresher" on the basics. A suggested follow-up text for this is Peter Abel's IBM PC Assembly Language and Programming (5th Edition).

I had a head injury 8 years back, and woke ti find the USA going liberal under Obama. I haven't been and this country hasn't been, the same since. I am just beginning to scratch the surface of taking up programming again, but Assembler code is one of the really strong areas to get into if you like really working with PCs. I do, and have hopes of taking up this book in earnest at some point in the future. Meanwhile, I just get by day to day. It's a good book for what I have in mind. Helped me understand at one point the exact change needed in code to make a 16-bit instruction become a 32-bit instruction. Memory serves, you have to add a BE into the instruction stream.

Thing is, people are increasingly interested in having someone else do the grunt work and write handy apps for their PCs and handhelds. I'm of a generation that had to pretty much fend for itself, and I liked it like that, although I don't shirk at using someone else's efforts. I used Ubuntu, and not just because it is all free (though that is appealing), but it is supported and developed by a world-wide community of people who enjoy the give and take, the sharing of ideas and common interests that go hand-in-hand across the whole Open Source movement. What we do today is search online and share. What we did before was bone up on subjects from books and take classes. You need to play it both ways if you really want to get ahead of the game. I know. I was able to stretch a 35-year career out of it, and in technology, that takes some doing

This book was very useful for me. It gives a very good introduction into the
assembler programming with functioning examples for DOS (16 Bit) and Linux (32 Bit).
The explanations are clear and its interesting and nice to read (includes some jokes).
Also the Linux part is very usable. I would prefer, if we would be a little bit more
independent of the C-funktions of the linux system (kind of stand alone assembler).
I am curious about the new version of this book.

Excellent book on basic knowledge of CPU and general computer hardware. But very little exercises that help you build a good understanding of Assembly language for 16bit/32bit processors. There are other free books available which have more exercises.
