Title: Suggested reading
Post by: Darkwing Duck on December 09, 2013, 09:52:36 PM
Hi Guys, I'm very new to Assembler programming.
I'm reading a book called "The Zen of Assembly Language".
Would this be a good place to start?
The book seems to focus only on the 8088 processor which is a 16 bit processor and my hardware is all 64 bit Intel processors.
Will there be any complications with this?
Also will I have any complications on my hardware using the MASM32 compiler?
Which documentation or books would you recommend to quickly get me going and doing the right things with MASM32?

Thanks.
DWD

16-bit code and books are mega-out, but 32-bit code will run just fine on your 64-bit system.
Check Tips, Tricks & Traps (http://www.webalice.it/jj2006/Masm32_Tips_Tricks_and_Traps.htm) for recommended reading.
