Assembly Language Step-by-Step, 3rd Edition

Book Description

The eagerly anticipated new edition of the bestselling introduction to x86 assembly language

The long-awaited third edition of this bestselling introduction to assembly language has been completely rewritten to focus on 32-bit protected-mode Linux and the free NASM assembler. Assembly is the fundamental language bridging human ideas and the pure silicon hearts of computers, and popular author Jeff Dunteman retains his distinctive lighthearted style as he presents a step-by-step approach to this difficult technical discipline.

He starts at the very beginning, explaining the basic ideas of programmable computing, the binary and hexadecimal number systems, the Intel x86 computer architecture, and the process of software development under Linux. From that foundation he systematically treats the x86 instruction set, memory addressing, procedures, macros, and interface to the C-language code libraries upon which Linux itself is built.

• Serves as an ideal introduction to x86 computing concepts, as demonstrated by the only language directly understood by the CPU itself
• Uses an approachable, conversational style that assumes no prior experience in programming of any kind
• Presents x86 architecture and assembly concepts through a cumulative tutorial approach that is ideal for self-paced instruction
• Focuses entirely on free, open-source software, including Ubuntu Linux, the NASM assembler, the Kate editor, and the Gdb/Insight debugger
• Includes an x86 instruction set reference for the most common machine instructions, specifically tailored for use by programming beginners
• Woven into the presentation are plenty of assembly code examples, plus practical tips on software design, coding, testing, and debugging, all using free, open-source software that may be downloaded without charge from the Internet.

热切期待的x86汇编语言畅销入门新版

期待已久的这本最畅销的汇编语言入门第三版已经完全重写，专注于32位保护模式Linux和免费的NASM汇编程序。汇编语言是连接人类思想和计算机纯硅心的基本语言，流行作家杰夫·邓特曼在介绍这一困难的技术学科的一步一步的方法时，保留了他独特的轻松风格。

他从一开始就讲解了可编程计算的基本思想、二进制和十六进制数字系统、Intel x86计算机体系结构以及Linux下的软件开发过程。在此基础上，他系统地研究了x86指令集、内存寻址、过程、宏和C语言代码库的接口，Linux本身就建立在这些代码库的基础上。

• 作为x86计算概念的理想入门工具，cpu本身直接理解的唯一语言就证明了这一点。
• 使用平易近人的对话风格，假定没有任何类型的编程经验
• 通过累积的教程方法介绍x86体系结构和汇编概念，这是自定进度教学的理想之选
• 完全关注自由、开放源码软件，包括Ubuntu Linux、NASM汇编程序、Kate编辑器和GDB/Insight调试器
• 包括最常见机器指令的x86指令集参考，专为编程初学者使用而定制
• 演示文稿中编织了大量汇编代码示例，以及软件设计、编码、测试和调试方面的实用技巧，所有这些都使用免费的开源软件，这些软件可以从互联网上免费下载。
