Title: The Art of Assembly Language Author(s): Randall Hyde Pages: 928 Publisher: No Starch Press; 1 edition Publication date: 2003 Language: English Format: CHM ISBN-10: 1886411972 ISBN-13: Description: This is truly amazing piece of work on High Level Assembly (HLA). It's important to know what you are getting is a book on HLA because the back cover says, "The most comprehensive guide to assembly language". Which is both hyperbole and factually slightly inaccurate. It's a very, very good book on an assembly language (HLA), but not all assembly languages. Nor should I think there would be a good book that covered all assembly languages, but that's beside the point.
There is some general value in the book that applies to almost any processor. The basics of registers, operations, pointers, the stack and other basics. But as you get deeper into the book it's clear that this is a work on HLA and HLA alone.
