Features

Programming on any OS Platform
Use programming examples provided for three common assemblers: GAS (Clang/LLVM), MASM, and NASM, which ensures both AT&T and Intel syntax. This allows for learning on any OS platform: Mac, Windows, and Linux. Brief introduction and code examples for other modern architectures like ARM, AVR, and RISC-V.

Wide range of code-oriented and detailed overviews
Cover function calls, floating-point operations (x87 through AVX), Inline Assembly, and system calls, all in one book.

Practical guidance and deep dives
Provide practical information with appendices that guide students in learning assembly programming while supplements for select chapters provide a deeper dive on topics as necessary. Attention, Programming, and Learning notes throughout the text also guide the reader in beneficial ways.

Promotes further exploration
Provide links to wikis, developer resources, and videos to assist in further exploration of topics.

New in Edition 2.0

x86_64 focus.
The primary programs and examples are most often x86_64, a 64-bit instruction set. Examples using x86/64 and x86 are included as secondary examples.

More GitHub programs.
Programs on GitHub include three variants for each of the three major assemblers (up to nine programs) where appropriate: x86_64, x86/64, and x86.

Compiler intrinsics. Coverage has been added.

More assignments. An extra assignment has been added to each chapter.
