where to start and what masm32 vs goasm

[Lobster]

Hello,
I'm totaly new to win32 assembler.  :eek
I'd like to know what is better for learn assembler: masm or goasm?
And links which can help me start. Like basic general things which are good to know, tutorilas, and so on...

I alredy have experience with C/C++ OOP, but no win32. Win32 I have done only few project in Borland C++ 6, which almost no need any knowledge of win32 it's very drag&drop :)
Some experiencies with assembler, but only 51 and AVR. I have done 51 loader for download software throw serial port of PC and then start it off...

Lobster,

It depends what you want to write, this forum is geared for win32 assembler and has active support for both MASM and GoAsm. They tend to be different tools, MASM is an industry standard with a 24 year old corporate budget behind it and it has the facilities, performance and support to match. GoAsm is a lower level assembler that is very well written and is capable of producing very good code as well.

Neither are simple to use until you learn enough about assembler programming and te workload to learn enough about win32 API function will take some time. I would recommend having a good look at Randy Hyde's HLA and AOA as they are both geared to help people who are coming in at the learner end of assembler programming.
