Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Unlike high-level languages such as Java and C++, assembly language is much closer to the machine code that actually runs computers. It's used to create programs or modules that are very fast and efficient, as well as in hacking exploits and reverse engineering.

Covering assembly language in the Pentium microprocessor environment, this code-intensive guide shows programmers how to create stand-alone assembly language programs as well as how to incorporate assembly language libraries or routines into existing high-level applications.

Professional Assembly Language demonstrates how to manipulate data, incorporate advanced functions and libraries, and maximise application performance.

Examples use C as a high-level language, Linux as the development environment, and GNU tools for assembling, compiling, linking, and debugging.

About the Author

Richard Blum has worked for a large U.S. government organization for more than 15 years. During that time, he has had the opportunity to program utilities in various programming languages: C, C++, Java, and Microsoft VB.NET and C#. With this experience, Rich has often found the benefit of reviewing assembly language code generated by compilers and utilizing assembly language routines to speed up higher-level language programs.
Rich has a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from Purdue University, where he worked on many assembly language projects. (Of course, this was back in the eight-bit processor days.) He also has a master of science degree in management from Purdue University, specializing in Management Information Systems.
