I was in the city just recently in a Major bookstore, I picked up a few
reference
books on C and spotted a couple of randal hydes's Books, One on assembly
language (cant remember title)
and the other 'Write great code'. 'Write great code' was rather interesting,
I was going to buy both, until I picked
up the book on asm, and saw that is wasnt based on the real raw intel asm
syntax which I have grown to love. It looked
more like 'how to master asssembly language using HLA' or some other high
level version of Asm. So I decided
to buy neither. Why are people so scared of trying to teach real intel x86
syntax?
Ii dont consider HLA to be assembler, certainly not a _real_ x86 assembler..
Ahh the good old days of writing virueses in asm under DOS were great fun.
My point is, mr hyde, why not write a book on asm that doesnt major in
macro's and high
level assembler? Why not just teach the native instructions instead of your
reborn version
of the asm language.
Did the bookshop miss a major publication of yours?
Alex.
