[net.micro.pc] Assembly language programming - books

hes@ecsvax.UUCP (Henry Schaffer) (07/28/86)

There have been a number of requests lately from people
needing pointers to books - here are two books which I
have found to be of great benefit in learning and using
assembler.

Assembly Language Primer for the IBM PC & XT by Robert Lafore
1984  A Plume/Waite Book, New American Library  ISBN 0-452-25711-5

  This takes a person from scratch, and teaches introductory and
medium difficulty level assembler.  It starts with the use of DEBUG,
and then moves over to the use of an assembler.  It is more
oriented to teaching (assembler and the architecture of the PC and
the use of PC-DOS) than as a reference book.  For a reference on
the instructions, I use:

The 8086 Book  (includes the 8088) by Russel Rector and George Alexy
1980 Osborne/McGraw-Hill  ISBN 0-07-931029-X
