Assembly Language for x86 Processors

For undergraduate courses in assembly language programming, introductory courses in computer systems, and computer architecture.

Teach effective design techniques to help students put theory into practice

Written specifically for 32- and 64-bit Intel/Windows platform, Assembly Language for x86 Processors , establishes a complete and fully updated study of assembly language. The text teaches students to write and debug programs at the machine level, using effective design techniques that apply to multiple programming courses through top-down program design demonstration and explanation. This approach simplifies and demystifies concepts that students need to grasp before they can go on to more advanced computer architecture and operating systems courses. Students put theory into practice through writing software at the machine level to create a memorable experience that gives them the confidence to work in any OS/machine-oriented environment.

With the 8th Edition, and for the first time, Assembly Language for x86 Processors moves into the world of interactive electronic textbooks, enabling students to experiment and interact with review questions, code animations, tutorial videos, and multiple-input exercises. The convenient, simple-to-use mobile reading experience extends learning beyond class time.
