This book must be used as an example of how not to enter text books. The index is extremely poor to the point of not being usable. In order to find anything in the book you have to skim every leaf in the chapter you reckon something must be in. The examples and text have small to do with the problems presented at the end of each chapter.

This was my only text for a semester course in Assembly Programming. I failed the course. Miserably. The author jumps around all over the place, using advanced concepts in early examples with no explanation whatsoever. nor does the book follow a logical plot of building in one chapter on what was taught in the previous chapter. the completely non-linear design and ‘flow’ of the book condemn it to being virtually indecipherable to beginners such as for myself.

Brilliant book for the use in notebook classes.
The author is a genius.

I am now enrolled in an assmebly language course in institution, and this text book is a complete pile of gibberish. The author tries to make himself feel better, by talking his information on a basis of expertise, when in fact, this is for beginners. He acts as though he is the god of ASM, and with the intention of his readers must look up to him. He jumps around all over the place, be fond of he is high on acid. I failed my ASM course, and i will be taking it next semester, due to this pile of (…junk) you call a “book”. I will decline this book off at the local gibberish can (…).
