Review:
I used this book in my assembly language in college and loved it, it was very easy to follow and had a lot of great examples. everything from processor architechture(very useful to all programmers, even non assembly programmers) which gives you a better understanding what's going on under the hood when you are programming any language to hardware/32 bit windows/16 bit dos/graphical applications/and all sorts of procedures and algorithms. if this book is read step by step it builds very well upon itself and pretty easy to follow. The main usefulness for this book is an excellent reference to refer back to later on.

Rating: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: (4 out of 5 banannas, was not 5 out of 5 because a few select sections can be difficult to follow for beginners)
