Anybody want to help verify some simple ASM tutorials?


Hi everybody,

A year or so ago, I decided to learn Linux x86_64 assembly language. While I was learning, I wrote tutorials for everything I was doing. I often do this when learning something on my own because it helps me keep my thoughts in order and prevent me from falling into the trap of copy-and-paste coding or programming by permutation.
Now, I can't say that I am a master of Linux x86_64 assembly, but I learned quite a few things, and I find my tutorials very helpful and often refer to them when I write assembly.

Now, I would like to publish the tutorials that I wrote, but first I would like to have somebody else knowledgable take a look at them and make sure that it's all correct. I don't want to mislead anybody with false information.
I wrote 5 tutorials, each is about 7-9 pages and they cover asm basics and making syscalls and calling C libraries.

If you are willing to help, let me know and I will PM you a link to the tutorials.

Thanks!

Hi:

On the front page of our LQ Forum you'll see off to the right hand side of the page "Write for LQ"

Sorry I don't have programming experience otherwise I'd be happy to read the tutorials that you composed.
Perhaps other members might be interested and will chime in.

Good Luck!

Alright, thank you. I think they are meant more for people know have no knowledge of ASM at all, but you can take a look. Also note that they cover only a small portion what a good programmer would need to know. Since you already know 32bit assembly then you might be somewhat immune to any of my bad influence.
I have uploaded them here: http://www.betteros.org/pub/asm_tut.tgz

Also, three people sent me a message regarding these tutorials. I have tried to reply via PM's and I think I was successful, but LQ seems to do a weird thing that makes me question if I actually replied or not ("sent" folder remains empty). So for anybody else interested in looking over my tutorials, you can find them at: http://www.betteros.org/pub/asm_tut.tgz

Remember that I am posting them for evaluation only at this point, they are likely not suited for people who really want to learn (yet).

Thanks for the interest everybody.

I agree ... post them here, or post a link to a universally-acceptable format of them such as, say, PDF.
