(Ebook) Learn to Program with Assembly by Jonathan Bartlett ISBN 9781484274361, 1484274369

Learn to program using the Assembly programming language and master the most important concepts in programming. Taking your first steps in programming with the Assembly language will make learning higher level programming languages that much easier. Most beginning-level programming books attempt to shield you from how your computer really works. Instead, author Jonathan Bartlett starts by teaching how the computer works under the hood 32-bit x86, 64-bit x86 and Arm, so that you will have a sufficient background to be successful in all areas of programming. Next, you'll see and write your very first programs, followed by a deep dive into functions, files, simple records, read/write, and more. After this, you’ll start coding robust applications and sharing functions with code libraries. Practical examples help illustrate each topic, and full source code is available for download from the Apress website. In the final portion of the book, you'll be introduced to intermediate topics like memory, threading, and counting, and close with a discussion of high level languages to consider learning next. Source code for this book available for free on book website/page.
