Written specifically for 32- and 64-bit Intel/Windows platform, Assembly Language for x86 Processors establishes a complete and fully updated study of assembly language. The text teaches you to write and debug programs at the machine level, using effective design techniques that apply to multiple programming courses through top-down program design demonstration and explanation. This approach simplifies and demystifies concepts that you need to grasp before they can go on to more advanced computer architecture and operating systems courses.
The 8th Edition focuses on protected mode programming in Chapters 1 through 13. You can create 32-bit and 64-bit programs that run under the most recent versions of Microsoft Windows. The text uses the x86 and x86-64 processor types, explaining the differences between instruction operands and basic architecture differences.
