Starting with ASM

Hey MPGH!

I've read a c++ book and am almost finished with Amazon.com: Beginning Game Programming, Third Edition (9781435454279): Jonathan S. Harbour: Books
I now want to move on with learning assembly.
I read the sticky and saw that there are different kinds of assembly
such as: win32asm, x86

what should I learn or isn't there a big difference?

I want to buy a book instead of downloading a book because it is easier to read (doesn't hurt your eyes and has no wifi = ])
so i found this book on amazon
Amazon.com: Write Great Code, Volume 2: Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level (9781593270650): Randall Hyde: Books
the only thing that isn't clear about this is, is it required to read the first book
Amazon.com: Write Great Code: Volume 1: Understanding the Machine (9781593270032): Randall Hyde: Books
or is it an updated version of the first book?

Does anyone here has book suggestions?
or feedback on the book?

Win32 isn't a type of assembly. Assembly is all based on the processor. 80x86 ( x86 ) is Intel syntax, 68000 is Motorola, ARM.. there's alot. The difference isn't really that big, but, for a language like assembly, changing syntax is difficult.. I've only just reached comfort zone with writing assembly programs.

I think you should stick with x86 though, 'cause it's badass. |:

Also, sorry, I can't recommend anything good, I just downloaded a crap load of different books until I found a good one...

Stick to regular x86 IMO.
I've learnt so far just from disassembling applications and writing inline assembly hooks in C + google, so I haven't actually written my own assembly applications (I haven't needed to for development or game hacking)

HLA is useless. asm language is something u really have to learn by programming in it. I recommend downloading masm. izechelion's (i didnt spell that right) tuts. also go to the MASM forum. They have a lot of experience and can point u in the right direction.

its very tough to find a book that teaches asm. In any case the point is to learn how it works, once u get abt 30 basic mneomic down u should be able to understand thing. I focused on reverse engineering. David is much better at actly programming asm then me, but my end goal way to reverse engineer data structures, so I only learned enough to get by then spent my time understanding how the compiler converts C++ into asm. lol and Im still am learning all the tricks, a little rusty tbh. I'll get back into it once school starts.

Daaum guy, you pop up at the most random times. |:

Look good books
