Although the need for assembly language programmers has decreased,
the need to understand assembly language has not, and it is important
to actually write assembly language code if one is to understand it
thoroughly.

This Guide to Assembly Language will enable the reader to very quickly
begin programming in assembly language. Through this hands-on programming,
readers will also learn more about the computer architecture of the Intel
32-bit processor, as well as the relationship between high-level and low-
level languages. The book can either be used as a stand-alone text in
a one-semester course on assembly language, or as a supplementary text in
a computer organization and architecture course.

Topics and features:

* Presents an overview of assembly language, and an introduction to general
purpose registers
* Illustrates the key concepts of each chapter with complete programs,
chapter summaries, and exercises (with answers to selected exercises provided
in the Appendices)
* Covers input/output, basic arithmetic instructions, selection structures,
and iteration structures
* Introduces logic, shift, arithmetic shift, rotate, and stack instructions
* Discusses procedures and macros, and examines arrays and strings
* Investigates machine language from a discovery perspective
* Provides an overview of binary and hexadecimal, logic, and arithmetic in
the Appendices, together with a Glossary, and a section on Visual C++ and MASM
