The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

can anybody recommend a good book (or ebook) that will teach me x86 assembly. i'd prefer a book that's not too hard to understand (i dont know much asm), but not a "for idiots" or "for dummies" book. thank's
Originally posted by ElementNine Well i have three assembly books and i think the best is the one by kip irving, although windows based using masm its still a really good book
Assy language for Intel-based computers by K. Irvine!!
there's also.....Assy language step by step, programming with DOS and Linux by J. Duntemann....this uses NASM which of course comes with Slackware so your already on your way with this one........
Distribution: Red Hat 9 or Gentoo 1.4 whatever I can get to work first

Rep:
I have the duntemann one too which i think is a better book if you kinda already know assembly a little. Irvine's book is more like a tutorial which seemed more helpful "step by step" has alot of theory stuff in it about the different modes and stuff which might confuse some people new to assembly. But both are really good books. Hell just pick up both
I learned assembly through Dr Paul Carter's PCASM tutorial, www.drpaulcarter.com, and the intel IA-32 software developers manuals. I own assembly language for intel computers by irvine, and I wouldnt recommend it.
