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.

• 期待已久的这本畅销的汇编语言介绍的第三版已经完全重写，重点是32位保护模式的Linux和免费的NASM汇编程序。汇编是连接人类思想和计算机的纯硅心的基本语言，受欢迎的作者Jeff Dunteman保留了他独特的轻松风格，他以循序渐进的方式介绍了这门困难的技术学科。
• 
  
• 他从一开始就解释了可编程计算的基本思想，二进制和十六进制数字系统，英特尔x86计算机架构，以及Linux下的软件开发过程。在此基础上，他系统地论述了x86指令集、内存寻址、程序、宏、以及与C语言代码库的接口，而Linux本身就是建立在此基础上的。
• 
  
• 作为x86计算概念的理想介绍，这是由CPU本身直接理解的唯一语言所证明的。
• 采用平易近人、娓娓道来的风格，假定没有任何形式的编程经验
• 通过累积的教程方法介绍x86架构和汇编概念，是自学的理想选择
• 完全专注于免费的开源软件，包括Ubuntu Linux、NASM汇编器、Kate编辑器和Gdb/Insight调试器
• 包括一个最常见的机器指令的x86指令集参考，专门为编程初学者量身定做
• 介绍中包含大量的汇编代码实例，以及关于软件设计、编码、测试和调试的实用技巧，所有这些都是使用免费的开源软件，可以从互联网上免费下载。
