Assembly Language Books

[dedndave]

i remember, in the day (lol), that i used to try and buy books by authors that i knew of
Ray Duncan comes to mind - his books always had something to learn
Peter Nortons' books, on the other hand, were too basic for me - they seemed to cover things that i already knew
it seems that, whenever i bought one by an "unknown" author, i wound up being disappointed
some books had multiple author names, which made it easier to research
i.e. do a liitle research on the author
how many other books and papers have they published - and what was the subject
nowdays, you can usually find them on linkedin or some similar site - you may even find resumes

this particular book is a "general assembly for windows" type book
a myiriad of authors have written this type of book
there is a lot of ground to cover - lol
API - graphics - internet - system - etc
it may be more fruitful to look for a more specialized book that covers a certain field of interest

Yes, an author from the good old days. His books are well written and problem oriented. Since a few weeks, he's a forum member, but not very active.
