Revolutionary Guide to Assemb Ly Language

Rating:
Summary: Great for learning the language and how your computer works!
Review: The book leads you from the basics starting with the assembly enviornment, registers, working with ram, and program flow, and it takes you to controlling hardware, taking advantage of the BIOS and DOS service calls, file management, low end graphics, keyboard and mouse control, and even programming TSRs. A great value, especially for the price it's at, for reference and for learning for the first time.

Summary: An alright book for reference.
Review: They have alot of interupts listed in back, but you'd be better off with Raplh Browns current list as this one is outdated. Much of this book is outdated, Pentiums are not covered at all, and 32-bit instructions and operations are only covered in the Appendix. The book is not to bad but they do no cover much in the way of direct hardware access, one of the benefits of using assembly. There is almost no coverage of todays graphics cards, and sound cards are not covered at all. Overall it can be used as an outdated but good reference. Especially if you only need to program in Dos and/or 16 bits. But there are a couple of better books available. Beginers and Advanced programers should steer clear.

Summary: obsolete but useful
Review: This book has a lot of useful information on low level stuff. There are chapters on Disks, Video and Bios/dos services.
Some of the material belong in a history book but I found the book very useful in my research on operating systems.
If you don't mind learning 16 bit assembly language, you should consider this book. However it helps if you know a bit of assemly language before you attempt to read this book.
A good introduction is "Assembly Langauge Step by Step" (if you dont mind authors who keep telling boring stories in between the material).
