Learn Microsoft Assembler in a Day (Popular Applications)

Learn Microsoft Assembler in a Day (Popular Applications), 9781556223310 (1556223315), Wordware Publishing, 1993

This book is for anyone who wants to learn the basics of programming a PC in its native tongue, which is the 80X86 Assembly language. It discusses practical working code for dealing with specifics of the PC DOS software environment using the Microsoft Macro Assembler 6.0. This book can be very useful as a starting guide to use with your macro assembler manual, a DOS programmer’s manual, and a PC technical reference manual.

People learn to program in PC Assembly language for a variety of reasons:

• to write the fastest possible program routines
• to write the most compact program routines
• to deal directly with hardware when timing cycles count
• to speed up the bottlenecks created by high level compilers
• to learn the basics of the Intel 80X86 instruction set

Assembly language programming is very flexible at solving problems in many different ways. You are not bound by many rigid constraints for coding methodology and data structures with Assembly language programming. Any programming task that can be done in a high level language can also be done in Assembly language since all high level languages have to compile source code down to Assembly language code level for CPU execution. Knowing the Assembly language of a system helps you to understand the constraints and problems of high level language compilers on the system. The Assembly language is where the software meets the hardware.
