Newbie here.. Where do I start Masm

[cybersaber]

HI forum mates,

                               I am new to this site and Masm. I have used TASM and ML in 16 bit asm. I am interested in learning 32 Bit. I saw masm32 so I got in this forum. I have collected a lot of material from net. But I dont know where to start. I dont have a capacity to buy a book.( though I bought a book on JAVA2 The complete Reference by herbert schilidt .. and he really sucks :boohoo:). 

                  I have a lot of stuff with like those Intel pdfs. AOA ( art of assembly) both 32 n 16 bit.

                                                    All I need is a tutorial for the startup which introduces me with masm32 and provides me enough material to compile a few Helo world programs.
                                                                                                               
   
                                                                                                        Thanx

These tutorials teach you all the aspects of Windows programming, starting with the basics. STart with the Win32assembly tutorials, then try others if you want.

saber,

make sure you install MASM32 correctly and test that it works on the examples. The default editor has a lot of help data available which should be useful to you as well.

Then you have Iczelion's tutorials, Mad Wizard tutorials and many other things to learn from.

Go to the forum web site and check the links to reference material, you will at least need win32.hlp and the later PLATFORMSDK if you can download it.

Yeah Hutch I have installed MASM32 correctly ... I have used MASM32 to complier the code of a keylogger ..  also did some changes in the code.. that keylogger is by a Dutch guy ... its detected by Norton ... Norton deletes the hkl.dll file which performs all the functions for the keylogger. This also another reason I want to learn ASM.  :dance:

Also I am downloading the whole site  http://win32assembly.online.fr/tutorials.html
I have been to that site before .. I had download alot of material on this site from packetstorm ( its another portal) I have got the win32.hlp from the borland FTP. But I havnt downloaded PlatformSDK... I m on a begginning stage .. DO I need platformSDK ...


I m using WinXp, Celeron 2.4D, 256 MB RAM, ... do  I need anything else. ( Yeah I know i m acting like a stupid .. that's coz I m going to be offline for a couple of weeks so I want a fast reply to all the requirements I need )

AeroASM thanx fr providing and reminding the link. Hutch ur Gr8

saber,

You can do without the PLATFORMSDK for some time as there is a lot of info in win32.hlp and the SDK is a very big download that you need cable for. Make sure you get the service pack for MASM32 version 8.2 as it has later stuff that should make learning this stuff a lot simpler. It is also on the web site or get the link from the masm32 download page.

This much, leave keyloggers alone in here as theyare generally associated with illegal stuff which we cannot allow.

Also the platform SDK is, like most Microsoft documentation, very hard to understnad if you do not already have a basic understanding.
