Synopsis:

Programming from the Ground Up uses Linux assembly language to teach new programmers the most important concepts in programming. It takes you a step at a time through these concepts: * How the processor views memory * How the processor operates * How programs interact with the operating system * How computers represent data internally * How to do low-level and high-level optimization Most beginning-level programming books attempt to shield the reader from how their computer really works. Programming from the Ground Up starts by teaching how the computer works under the hood, so that the programmer will have a sufficient background to be successful in all areas of programming. This book is being used by Princeton University in their COS 217 "Introduction to Programming Systems" course.

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.
