23 Jun 09 Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers

This present edition of a widely-used book provides basic information for the beginning programmer interested in computer architecture, operating systems, and compiler writing. Using the Intel processor family as its base, and concentrating on the MS-DOS operating system, this complete and fully updated study of assembly language is written clearly and straightforwardly, making it easy to read and understand. A companion CD-ROM with Microsoft Macro Assembler Version 6.15 and TextPad Shareware editor is included, and there is a companion Website maintained by the author.
Introduced by a chapter on Basic Concepts, the book covers machine architecture, processor architecture, assembly language fundamentals,
data transfers, addressing and arithmetic, procedures, conditional processing, integer arithmetic, strings and arrays, structures and macros, 32-bit Windows programming, language interface, disk fundamentals, BIOS-level programming, and MS-DOS programming. This book is perfect for embedded systems programmers, communication specialists, game programmers, and graphics programmers.

Summary

This text is designed for students and professionals interested in learning the basics of operating systems, architecture, and programming in the context of a microprocessor. In his eagerly anticipated fourth edition, Kip Irvine concentrates on the combined Windows/MS-DOS operating system and thoroughly covers 32-bit assembly language applications for Intel-based computers.
Focusing on how to approach programming problems with a machine-level mindset, Assembly Language for Intel(r)-Based Computers includes the following features:
Detailed tutorials on numbering systems and data storage fundamentals.
ll programs tested with the Microsoft(r) MASM 6.15(tm) assembler.
Inline assembly code, as well as linking assembly language to C/C++ in both Real and Protected modes.
Extensive instruction set reference that includes instruction formats and CPU flag usage.
Interrupt vectoring and device I/O.
CD-ROM that includes the full professional version of the Microsoft(r) MASM 6.15(tm) Assembly Language Development System, a programmer’s editor, a macro library, and the book’s source code.
New to the fourth edition:

Win32 programming, including the console API and a graphical application.

Expanded coverage of procedures, recursion, stack parameters, structures, and unions.

Boolean expressions, truth tables, and flowcharts.

Basic string handling, sorting and searching algorithms.

Bit-mapped graphics in both Real and Protected modes.

IEEE floating-point binary representation.

Virtual machine architecture; IA-32 Protected mode segmentation and paging.

Introductory explanations of the instruction execution cycle, memory I/O, multitasking, pipelining, and superscalar architecture.

Disk fundamentals, including disk geometry, FAT32 and NTFS file structures.
