Using Assembly Language

Assembly language subroutines can eliminate the limitations and inefficiencies that are sometimes part of high-level programming languages like BASIC, Pascal, and C. Que’s Using Assembly Language shows you how to make the most of your programs with assembly language subroutines. Written from a programmer’s perspective, this book demonstrates how to harness the speed, versatility, flexibility, and code compaction possible with assembly language.

Using Assembly Language will help you understand assembly language instructions, commands, and functions – how they are used and what effects they produce. Functioning both as a learning aid and reference guide, this book provides you with a sound foundation in the techniques of assembly language subroutine development. Increase the performance of our programs with Que’s Using Assembly Language!
