## Description

Introduction to 80x86 Assembly Language and Computer Architecture [Detmer, Richard C.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Introduction to 80x86 Assembly Language and Computer Architecture

Review: Great material, but basic - After reading half of Randall Hyde's AoA, I got pissed off at reading HLA and bought this book and finished it in a month. This satisfied my expectations. This book uses MASM (Intel syntax) with Visual Studio (Express version is available for free). Pros: - Very clear and explicit explanations and examples - Good structuring of the chapters - Gives the reader excellent insight on the fundamental instructions of x86 instruction set Cons: - Doesn't really explain computer architecture in depth, but is expected in a 389 page book concentrating on assembly language, which I find to be the most important - Does not show how to use functions from Visual Studio's libraries (had to learn how to prototype functions myself from Microsoft's website)
Review: Great book for helping with shell code analysis - I needed a good book to help me with a security lab class where we wrote and examined shell code to exploit applications. I had little ASM experience and this book helped a lot. The book is the most up to date assembly book I could find, covering 64 bit architectures and more. If you need to understand how assembly works to write shell code I would highly reccomend this book. The section on understanding the stack is very useful to understand how to exploit applications and why these exploits work. The only drawback that I see to this book is the price, it is very expensive. I feel that ASM is a pretty highly specialized area which justifies the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finely assembled
*by R***O on November 22, 2003*

Great starting point for learning 32 bits assembly language with DOS and Windows. The only defect of this book is its unbelievable price... surely due to the fact that is used a college textbook so the poor students have no choice but squander their savings on it. Luckily the content is very good, the teaching style is excellent ( the author uses macros initially to do input and output so you won't be overwhelmed by lots of material just to write and read from the keyboard, and after you have played a bit a learned the basics he goes on explaining them). You can certainly read this book with no prior exposure to assembly and computer inner workings. You 'better have at least some exp with a high level language, and if you don't, why on earth do you want to start programming with assembly? Masochisms? The one word that comes to mind about this book and author is CLARITY. It is certainly not a fun read, but it is so clear that it is not boring. Compliments to Richard and one star less than the max because of the rip-off price. (Get it used!)
