      title = {Guide to Assembly Language : A Concise Introduction /},
      abstract = {This concise guide is designed to enable the reader to  learn how to program in assembly language as quickly as  possible. Through a hands-on programming approach, readers  will also learn about the architecture of the Intel  processor, and the relationship between high-level and  low-level languages. This updated second edition has been  expanded with additional exercises, and enhanced with new  material on floating-point numbers and 64-bit processing.  Topics and features: Provides guidance on simplified  register usage, simplified input/output using C-like  statements, and the use of high-level control structures  Describes the implementation of control structures, without  the use of high-level structures, and often with related C  program code Illustrates concepts with one or more complete  program Presents review summaries in each chapter, together  with a variety of exercises, from short-answer questions to  programming assignments Covers selection and iteration  structures, logic, shift, arithmetic shift, rotate, and  stack instructions, procedures and macros, arrays, and  strings Includes an introduction to floating-point  instructions and 64-bit processing Examines machine  language from a discovery perspective, introducing the  principles of computer organization A must-have resource  for undergraduate students seeking to learn the  fundamentals necessary to begin writing logically correct  programs in a minimal amount of time, this work will serve  as an ideal textbook for an assembly language course, or as  a supplementary text for courses on computer organization  and architecture. The presentation assumes prior knowledge  of the basics of programming in a high-level language such  as C, C++, or Java. Dr. James T. Streib is Professor  Emeritus of Computer Science at Illinois College,  Jacksonville, IL, USA. His other publications include the  Springer textbooks Guide to Data Structures and Guide to  Java.},
