Hi, I'd like to learn Assembler language programming, but, I really don't know what 'the' book to get for it.. (i.e. 'the' book for C is the K&R, etc.) If anyone can help, I'd greatly appriciate it. BTW, if at all possible, list books for Macro Assembler too.

I just finished teaching a PC Assembler class and selected Peter Norton's Assembly Language Book for the IBM PC as the class text. I thought it was a better book on the subject, but not the best. The problem is I haven't seen the best or what I thought was the best. Another book I've used for years is IBM PC & XT Assembly Language, A Guide for Programmers by Leo J. Scanlon. What I've taught in my class was that on the PC, you must become fluent in Assembler *and* BIOS and DOS interrupts. There are two texts which I recommend for achieving the latter: The Peter Norton Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC and if you *really* want to know just about every thing The MSDOS Encyclopedia. I must warn you, The MSDOS Encyclopedia comes with a fairly hefty price tag (~ $125). Hope this helps..... jim -- ============================================================================== :::: ::: :: :: : : Jim Vickroy |OC| ||| || || | | Technical Services Department |LC| ||| || || | | Online Computer Library Center, Inc. :::: ::: :: :: : : Dublin, Ohio ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UUCP: {att|pyramid|killer}!osu-cis!sppy00!jmv domain: jmv@sppy00.uucp USSNAIL: 6565 Frantz Rd., Dublin, Ohio 43017-0702 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Hey, wow man ... pooby shooby" -cm ==============================================================================

Heath/Zenith has a self-teach course for assembler language. It comes in two full-size notebooks and has a final exam for which you can get continuing education credits. I think the price is $89. -- Bob Fisher (osu-cis!dsacg1!bfisher) 614-238-9071 (Autovon 850-9071) From the Internet: bfisher%dsacg1.uucp@daitc.arpa US Defense Logistics Agency Systems Automation Center DSAC-TSX, Box 1605, Columbus, OH 43216-5002
