Title: Total NewBie - Where to Start.....
Post by: symosys on September 11, 2005, 10:41:10 PM
Hi all, I am totally new to programming in Assembler but have dabbled with C and Visual Basic also VBA mainly file manipulation and Database programming. 

What kind of thing are best to try to achieve when learning Assembler using MASM?

Where is a good place to start learning the Basics?

Is code easy to read and understand?

Hi Symosys.

Since you have programming knowledge allready you should get the hang of assembler in no time at all. :U

The way i started is i made tiny programs and kept making changes to the programs alot.
This helped me to learn really fast.
First thing to do is read the ASMINTRO file in your c:\masm32\help\ dir
And also the icztutes in  \masm32\ dir ,which will help you out alot also.

The code for me is easier to understand than any c++ code code ever be.
The syntex is simple and the language is pure logic :)

Good luck. :wink

Welcome!
What you could do is start by going to the masmforum website (http://www.website.masmforum.com/), the link is also in the top right corner of this page. Especially check out the links section, and Iczelion's site, there are many tutorials and sample apps out there.
