looks promising, but the presentation fails to deliver.

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 1998

The book contains some good information, unfortunately most of it's hidden in the lightly documented examples at the end of each chapter.
The design of the book is great, each chapter is divided into sections: Fundamental Knowledge, Tools, Library, Summary. This format is wonderful and looks promising, but the presentation fails to deliver. I can't say that I found nothing useful in each section, but I can say that the information I found in the entire book was not worth the price I paid for it.
The code at the end of each chapter lets you know that the people who wrote it know a lot about PC assembler, I just wish they'd have shared more of it with me in the preceeding chapter.
If I were re-writing this book, I would leave the format the same, but I would take smaller logical steps while explaining fundamentals in the Fundamental Knowledge sections, and put more example programs (lots of example programs) in the Library section and document, document, document, the example programs.
For a programmer, the index is almost worthless, for example: it doesn't have an entry for all of the assembler keywords. The book is over 900 pages long; the index is 12 pages long and is obviously not indexed by content, but by occurence. When you do find a subject you're looking for in the index, you hardly ever get what you we're expecting when you turn to the referenced page.
If you're a new to programming, this book is in no way for you.
If you already know a higher level language, then you will benefit somewhat from the book, but if you're learning assembler because you have to do some low level system programming, this book won't help much. I'd recommend getting your introduction to assembler with Tom Swan's book, Mastering Turbo Assembler and then filling out your specific needs with one of the system's programming books available for your platform.
I read a lot of technical books, and I find that frequently a book will cover the theory of a subject thoroughly, but skimp on real world examples and applications of the knowldege. Some other books are exactly the opposite. They go into detailed examples of specific applications of the technology, but fail to cover the fundamental areas well or at all. With the former type of book, you walk away with the knowledge of how things theoretically work, but your practical skills are none the richer. With the latter type of book so you may end up being an expert at installing Windows NT, but you still can't identify the principal functions of an operating system. Both types of books have their place, and if you stay in the Computer field long enough you'll probably end up needing both types of books for at least one or two areas. This book trys to cover both areas, but sadly ends up failing to adequately cover either.

obsolete but useful

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2002

This book has a lot of useful information on low level stuff. There are chapters on Disks, Video and Bios/dos services.
Some of the material belong in a history book but I found the book very useful in my research on operating systems.
If you don't mind learning 16 bit assembly language, you should consider this book. However it helps if you know a bit of assemly language before you attempt to read this book.
A good introduction is "Assembly Langauge Step by Step" (if you dont mind authors who keep telling boring stories in between the material).

Good intermediate book!

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2002

If you know some high level language (concepts, structure, procedures, functions) and have a basis in assembler (know what mov means) Then this book can be of value. Has a lot of good examples for each subject covered. Covers a subject that I don't see covered much in alot of the assembler books I have read, writing macros (like writing a function in a high level language, sort of). I would recommend these books in order: ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE STEP BY STEP, REVOLUTIONARY GUIDE TO ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE, MASTER CLASS-ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE.

this is a great book.........a must buy for anyone wishing to learn assembly.......i would suggest that you read Peter Nortans Assembly Language Programming book before this one.........i did that and everything really fit together nicely.....it only took me one month to read both books.....make my own hex editor.......an addictive game.......and many many many useful util's and apps.......i am now entering the exciting realm of 3d games programing with ease.....and believe me i needed assembly......i needed and still need this book.......excellent reference............

…und nachvollziehbarer Schreibstil, der einen dennoch folgen lässt trotz der englischsprachigen Fassung des Themas.
Wer seine Startkenntnisse in Assembler-Programmierung weiter vertiefen möchte, ist mit dieser Lektüre bestens bedient.
