Are you saying you read all the tutorials, and evaluated all the tools
listed on linuxassembly.org and have been left wanting?


Cheers,
Tink

there is a book available for free on prentice halls website on linux assembly and there is also another book available for free 'programming from the ground up'..

i have read the latter and it is well worth a read.. i downloaded the other one, but have since fled back to the comfort of c++..

I'm a big fan of this book:
Professional Assembly Language, Richard Blum, Wrox Press
http://www.bookpool.com/sm/0764579010

What I like about it is that it's the ONLY book I'm aware of that focuses on GNU assembler (whose syntax is "inverted" from the standard Intel/MASM syntax I'm familiar with from Days of Old).

Highly recommended .. PSM

paulsm4, if you are interested in other books on linux asm, the one i posted 'programming from the ground up' is also specific to gnu assembler.. i just flipped through the prentice hall one right now but it appears to be intel syntax.. but is quite detailed on alot of low level hardware operations.. may have to read it after all..

Hi, Xhi -

I wasn't familiar with "Programming from the Ground up". I did a "google" search, and came up with these two links for it:

Programming from the Ground Up, Jonathan Bartlett
http://www.cafepress.com/bartlettpublish
<= This is the author's own site
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/rel...0-booksize.pdf
<= Here is a downloadable copy, distributed under the GNU CopyLeft

My original recommendation still stands: I've read Richard Blum's "Professional Assembly Language", and I personally find it a very good book.

Mr. Bartlet's book looks very good, too. Thank you for the recommendation - I'd like to read more of it!

Sincrely .. PSM

I've looked at "The Art of Assembly Language" and at the author's (most excellent!) website:

http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/

There's a lot of good stuff there ... but, frankly, I would NOT recommend it. Because (IMHO) the author, Randall Hyde, tends to focus more on his "HLA" ("High Level Assembler"), than on the Intel instruction set itself.

Further, if you want to work on Linux (and who wouldn't ;-)), I would argue it's probably better to focus on the GNU assembler ("inverted") syntax, rather than the Intel/MASM syntax (more commonly seen in the DOS/Windows literature).

Probably the BEST way to learn assembler is just to compile C programs with "-S" and examine the assembly-language results (Linux: "gcc -g -S myprog.c"; Windows: "cl /Fa myprog.c").

Your .. PSM
