The Art Of Assembly (Free learning book)

Since this place is so desolate, I decided to come and show off The Art of assembly. It is a great book that helps you learn this very useful language. Even if you don't use it directly understanding it will help improve your coding habits. So maybe we will get a few people to read it and start posting here

The Art of Assembly

It's like (what I learned form some site). Kinda the coding language they used before C and C++ and stuff and it is a little longer writtern, right?

Well if you think of various languages in terms of an onion, assembly would be farther down than C, C would be farther down than java, ect ect.

ASM is the original coding language i think, apart from dos.

Kinda, unless I am off base it is a direct connect to machine line language which is then passed right to binary. Each statement is a single machine line instruction. So aside from using machine line or binary I am pretty sure this is the lowest level language.

yup. it is, some languages pass translate to asm then asm translates. so asm is pretty much the lowest language out (so far) apart from dos.

Although DOS isn't directly a part of windows any more right?

it semi is, it's nearly the exact machine line code, but it actually can't be used any more on many operating systems.

Wrong thread. -.-

lol, wrong thread. -.-

ASM is the lowest possible language that any programmer can code in. (unless you like to program with OP Codes which i doubt you do ). Asm is just a bunch of commands which are keywords for different OP codes like JMP stands for 0xE9. Asm is translated to machine code and with asm you have direct access to cpu registers such as EAX, EBX, ECX, ... and so on. It is by far the most annoying language to program in, but by far the fastest if used right. Most of the time, asm is just incorporated into projects such as c++ projects in which you can right asm snippets by declaring the _asm{} identifier.

If anyone wants to hack fps games, then learning how asm and memory works is a necessity to reverse engineer.
