Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody had some input on Randall Hyde's High Level
Assembly language. I want to learn assembly language, and although
there are assurances in his book that it's not simply a high-level
language with an assembly veneer, I'd like second opinions.

Is HLA a good tool for learning assembly language?

You are a masochist, aren't you? ;)

Seriously though, "HLA" is an infamously controversial topic in this
group. Some even say that it has destroyed the group's usefullness.

Though many will give you their opinion, often the only way to really
know about something is to try and see.

But be sure to take plenty of antioxidants; HLA is allegedly quite
trying on the mental health of newbies!
