For undergraduate courses in assembly language programming and introductory courses in computer systems and computer architecture.
This complete and fully updated study of assembly language for the IBM-PC teaches students how to write and debug programs at the machine level. Based on the Intel processor family, the text simplifies and demystifies concepts that students need to grasp before they can go on to more advanced computer architecture or operating systems courses.
From the Back Cover
This text is designed for students and professionals interested in learning the basics of operating systems, architecture, and programming in the context of a microprocessor. In his eagerly anticipated fourth edition, Kip Irvine concentrates on the combined Windows/MS-DOS operating system and thoroughly covers 32-bit assembly language applications for Intel-based computers.
Focusing on how to approach programming problems with a machine-level mindset, Assembly Language for Intel(r)-Based Computers includes the following features:
* Detailed tutorials on numbering systems and data storage fundamentals.
* All programs tested with the Microsoft(r) MASM 6.15(tm) assembler.
* Inline assembly code, as well as linking assembly language to C/C++ in both Real and Protected modes.
* Extensive instruction set reference that includes instruction formats and CPU flag usage.
* Interrupt vectoring and device I/O.
* CD-ROM that includes the full professional version of the Micr Read more...
