I disagree with the 1 Start someone gave it!

'fastluck from Tijeras, NM USA' posted a 1 star review for this book, basically the reason why is you could not get the libraries and code to work. I just bought this book after visiting the Webster site and within 10 Minutes of configuring Environment Variables and installing HLA and MASM, I had my first working program. So I am not sure why you could not get it working?

Excellent book on HLA

This is truly amazing piece of work on High Level Assembly (HLA). It's important to know what you are getting is a book on HLA because the back cover says, "The most comprehensive guide to assembly language". Which is both hyperbole and factually slightly inaccurate. It's a very, very good book on an assembly language (HLA), but not all assembly languages. Nor should I think there would be a good book that covered all assembly languages, but that's beside the point.

There is some general value in the book that applies to almost any processor. The basics of registers, operations, pointers, the stack and other basics. But as you get deeper into the book it's clear that this is a work on HLA and HLA alone.

Who is this for?

I grabbed this book looking for some interesting tidbits. I know a few RISC architectures asm, but never played w/x86, which is what I saw in the flipping through the book. Turns out I didn't flip through it nearly as much as I should have before buying it.

I didn't notice the whole book being geared towards a pseudo-assembly called HLA. High Level Assembly. Looks like x86, but isn't quite. Ok, my fault. So I read on and get a book using a teaching format I personally HATE. The "teach the wrong, but easy way first" then "teach the more correct way later and hope the reader doesn't remember the wrong way" approach. Ugh.

I'm not sure I would recommend this book to anyone. It's expensive and huge, when there are other more compact tomes to learn assembly from.

A needed a spped review of assembler, and this book really helped a lot.

Very good!
