Reader Reviews
I had picked up Mr. Holzner's "Assembly Language for Pascal Programmers" a year ago and found that his method of presenting and explaining working examples to be easy to follow and insightful. But he used a lot of comparison to Pascal code which I knew little about, being someone who only knew the basics of C/C++. So I got this book and am delighted in actually learning C beyond the basics of variables, pointers, flow control, structures, etc. (which he covers quickly in chapter 1). My only complaint is that chapters 7 and 8 are pretty much a rehash of the same material in the Pascal book mentioned above, but it's still a great introduction to 80x86 assembly. There are three main topics covered in the book: The C library, advanced C techniques and assembly (with inline assembly and linking assembly funtions with C object files). The chapters are Ch. 1 - C From Ordinary to Extraordinary Ch. 2 - File Handling Ch. 3 - Graphics Ch. 4 - Databasing Ch. 5 - C and Memory Ch. 6 - Debugging C Ch. 7 - Welcome to Assembly Language Ch. 8 - An Assembly Primer Ch. 9 - Interfacing Assembly Language to C Ch. ten - Assembly Language Expertise
