Written specifically for the Intel/Windows/DOS platform, this complete and fully updated study of assembly language teaches students 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 and operating systems courses. Students put theory into practice through writing software at the machine level, creating a memorable experience that gives them the confidence to work in any OS/machine-oriented environment. Proficiency in one other programming language, preferably Java, C, or C++, is recommended. The 5th edition is available with an optional value-pack containing containing Microsoft Visual C Express under isbn: Students and lab managers will be able to download MASM 8.0 from the book page at or on the Microsoft Web site (part of the Windows Vista SDK). The two products work together very well, and instructions are available on my Web site that explain how to set things up. Go to and select "Getting started". Table Of Contents 1. Basic Concepts.

Features Flexibility Offers optional chapter topics in the final 7 chapters. Allows instructors to cover these chapters in varying order and depth. 32-bit, Protected mode programming as the default model Uses the native mode of the IA-32 processor family (Intel 386 and later). Makes addressing easier to understand because students no longer must deal with memory segmentation issues. Makes it possible for students to create applications that take full advantage of 32-bit Intel processors, such as protected mode, flat memory addressing. Allows students to create Microsoft Windows applications. Extensive link libraries For both 32-bit and 16-bit programming. Contains more than 40 procedures that simplify input/output, numeric processing, disk and file handling, and string handling. Test banks for each chapter Prepared by the author. Aids instructors in preparing exams. Top-down program design demonstration and explanation. Teaches students effective design techniques that apply to multiple programming courses. Gives students clear-cut methods for organizing nontrivial programs as assembly language is by nature unstructured. Assists students in forming visual images of program design and logic with flowcharts. PowerPoint slide shows Prepared by the author in the supplemental material. Enables instructors to have prepared lectures; allows students to print out and study the slides as lecture notes. Review exercises At the end of every section. Aids students in their comprehension skills. Answers are included for instructors to used the questions as test material. Programming exercises with solutions. Gives students first-hand experience in writing software and allows them to immediately check on their results. MASM Download The Microsoft(r) Macro Assembler 8.0 is available for download via the author's page at Instructor-maintained Website With lists of errata, Frequently Asked Questions, new programs, and articles about special topics. Enables students to reinforce their understanding of the material presented in the course. Receives approximately 80,000 hits per month the most extensive Website by any published assembly-language programming author. Assembly Language Workbook on Website provides expanded drill and practice on basic numeric and data manipulation skills, a feature provided by no other author.
