i've decided to start reading it, I don't want to deal with hla
what are your opinions on this?
should I read the new one with hla or the old without?
The old one is good i thought, very comprehensive and gives lots of actual examples of basic concepts to walk you through understanding particular instructions.
yes - and it's available online, too
there are a few PDF's floating around as well
i also have a PDF of "Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers" by Kip Irvine
can't comment on how good it is, as i haven't read it, yet :P
i started to use it, but got legs just working with the masm32 package, Iczelion, etc
The old one, for sure.
