Synopsis

Assembly Language for x86 Processors, 7e is suitable for undergraduate courses in assembly language programming and introductory courses in computer systems and computer architecture. Proficiency in one other programming language, preferably Java, C, or C++, is recommended. 

 

Written specifically for 32- and 64-bit Intel/Windows platform, this complete and fully updated study of assembly language teaches students to write and debug programs at the machine level. This text 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, creating a memorable experience that gives them the confidence to work in any OS/machine-oriented environment.

 

Teaching and Learning Experience

This program presents a better teaching and learning experience—for you and your students. It will help:

• Teach Effective Design Techniques: Top-down program design demonstration and explanation allows students to apply techniques to multiple programming courses.
• Put Theory into Practice: Students will write software at the machine level, preparing them to work in any OS/machine-oriented environment.
• Tailor the Text to Fit your Course: Instructors can cover optional chapter topics in varying order and depth.
• Support Instructors and Students: Visit the author's web site http://asmirvine.com/ for chapter objectives, debugging tools, supplemental files, a Getting Started with MASM and Visual Studio 2012 tutorial, and more.

About this title

Review

“This textbook [Irvine] teaches assembly and architecture fundamentals in a logical and concise manner for students with a reasonable CS1 backgrounds...and are applicable to higher-level programmers as to their understanding of what is happing to the code that they write and how it behaves during compilation and execution.” ― John Doyle, Indiana University, Southeast

“The problems and exercises are of good quality and quantity; they always have similarity within the chapter examples, but they are presented in a more challenging way. Students can pick-up skills that can be transferred to solving a new problem.” ― Yinping Jiao, South Texas College

“The book [Irvine] is well-organized. The chapters are lined-up such that after you cover the foundations presented in chapter 1-8, you can jump to any chapter you like consistent with what you think the students should know for upcoming classes.” ― Remzi Seker, University of Arkansas, Little Rock

“Wonderful! This edition...added clearer examples to make it easy to understand assembly language and computer architecture from the programmer’s point-of-view. I am very impressed with the clarity of explanations. The diagrams are simple and complement the discussions perfectly.” ― David Topham, Ohlone College

“The coverage of 16-bit mode is superb...”increasingly historical.”” ― John-Thomas Amenyo, York College, City College of New York
