The eagerly anticipated new edition of the bestselling introduction
to x86 assembly language
The long-awaited third edition of this bestselling introduction
to assembly language has been completely rewritten to focus on
32-bit protected-mode Linux and the free NASM assembler. Assembly
is the fundamental language bridging human ideas and the pure
silicon hearts of computers, and popular author Jeff Dunteman
retains his distinctive lighthearted style as he presents a
step-by-step approach to this difficult technical discipline.
He starts at the very beginning, explaining the basic ideas of
programmable computing, the binary and hexadecimal number systems,
the Intel x86 computer architecture, and the process of software
development under Linux. From that foundation he systematically
treats the x86 instruction set, memory addressing, procedures,
macros, and interface to the C-language code libraries upon which
Linux itself is built.Serves as an ideal introduction to x86
computing concepts, as demonstrated by the only language directly
understood by the CPU itselfUses an approachable, conversational
style that assumes no prior experience in programming of any
kindPresents x86 architecture and assembly concepts through a
cumulative tutorial approach that is ideal for self-paced
instructionFocuses entirely on free, open-source software,
including Ubuntu Linux, the NASM assembler, the Kate editor, and
the Gdb/Insight debuggerIncludes an x86 instruction set reference
for the most common machine instructions, specifically tailored for
use by programming beginnersWoven into the presentation are plenty
of assembly code examples, plus practical tips on software design,
coding, testing, and debugging, all using free, open-source
software that may be downloaded without charge from the
Internet.
