MASM and RosASM require M$ to run.

I prefer the syntax of NASM and FASM.
The *major* problem is a lack of
suitable tutorials for beginners when it
comes to Windows programming.

When you talk of "tutorials for beginners", if you mean something
like Pdf BlaBla, you are out of the subject. In this area, we do
not need any such thing, but, what we rather call "Win32Asm Demos"

The Iczelions Tutorials (Demos, in fact...) have been ported to
almost all Assemblers around. RosAsm also offers Test Departement
Demos, and many other similar materials, that are all one may need
for Win32 Assembly.

And, _of course_, when you want to do something, and fail to find
out a ready to use Demo... you have to do the pionner work...


RosAsm is very self contained but I found
its tutorials irritating to say the least

??? Which one ? The Visual Tuts ?

If yes,... yes, i also thing they require more re-work.
Time and volunteers hands are the only problems, as this
kind of Tutorials takes an incredible long and hard time
to develop...


and its syntax very idiosyncratic

What does this mean?


and it
lacks the flexibility of the others to
program different OS like Linux.

It is Win32 Specific. How could it offer an integrated
source level debugger, a two-clicks disassembler re-
Assembler, and all of the integrated tool... and be
usable with several OSes?


There isn't any good ASM *complete* sources
for programming Windows which requires the
use of API's and DirectX etc to do much.

If you like to write this...good luck...

:))

For DirectX, all of the wishable Demos and Applications
are available.


Thus you need to be able to translate from
any C++ tutorials you might find because
there isn't much in assembler for the novice

RosAsm Disassembler is quite good at porting C and C++
Demos to Assembly, when they are really missing, but
for the majority of stuffs there are existing Demos:
A bit of search is often time faster than re-inventing
the wheel.
