[comp.newprod] Introducing The Guru's Guide to the Commodore Amiga, Meditation #1

sassen@aerospace.aero.org (Greg Sassenrath) (07/14/89)

  With the publication of "Guru's Guide, Meditation #1" Sassenrath Research 
launches its definitive series of Amiga technical reference works by the author
of the Amiga's Multitasking Executive (Exec), Carl Sassenrath. The unique
power of the Amiga can be attributed largely to its robust and elegant Exec;
Sassenrath, the master architect of this crucial system is the ideal choice
to guide both novice and expert programmers through the often complex and 
always fascinating world of the Amiga's system software.

  Meditation #1, the first book in this important series, deals with the core
of event driven activities in the Amiga Exec: the interrupt system. Central to
the understanding of any modern computer, a thorough understanding of
interrupts is even more vital to programmers attempting to harness the power of
multitasking and the many DMA channels of the Amiga. 

  The refreshingly jargon-free prose offers Amiga users and developers
a rich fund of "inside" Amiga programming lore not available anywhere else.
The book is one of the very few first-hand, truly authoritative Amiga 
programming references available today. Carefully assembled, handsomely and
clearly presented with many diagrams, tables, and examples, "Guru's Guide"
is an indispensable resource destined for the bookshelves of all serious Amiga
owners.
