Synopsis

This is an introductory book to programming and computer science using assembly language. It assumes the reader has never programmed before, and introduces the concepts of variables, functions, and flow control. The reason for using assembly language is to get the reader thinking in terms of how the computer actually works underneath. Knowing how the computer works from a “bare-metal” standpoint is often the difference between top-level programmers and programmers who can never quite master their art. The book is licensed under GNU FDL.

About this title

From the Publisher

If you ever wondered how computers really work under the hood, this book will tell you. It gets down and dirty with Linux and assembly language to show you just how your computer manages things on the low levels. This book is written with the novice in mind, but will be a benefit to anyone who is interested in learning either assembly language or how their computer really works. If you are already a programmer in another language, this book will help you see what is really happening when you program, and will make you a better programmer in whatever language you choose.
