This is what I have done so far, I've started writing it in a form exactly how it was planned when I was writing the base documentation a year ago, so I'm beginning with DOS programming tutorial. Also, it's done in a bit non-standard approach, so I think that at current stage it's good to ask: what do you think about it?

Nice layout
I like it, I almost consider starting to code for DOS (if it would have been a few years ago, I'd definetly started coding in DOS if I had found a tutorial like this). Keep up the good work.

A Fasm tutorial for MenuetOS is more good, rather than dos, windows, imho.

Rip it all to shreds and let it go.

I can't say till finished.

privalov, I have read many books covering DOS assembly programming and this seems like a good start. Beyond being a gentle introduction to fasm syntax, what would such a tutorial provide? Who is the audience for this tutorial? ...student DOS and Win9x beginning programmers?

Privalov,

Nice work

I think that even highschool students could be.
It looks great. The begining looks like for all those who didn't wrote in any language. I like it, but I hope that futher sections will be focused on more advanced topic (proportionaly advanced to chapter number ).

Great Tutorial, i hope you finished it soon....so i can learn FASM quicker.......too much SAP in my life.....i need more FASM!

Here's the current stage - the progress is slow, but that's because I'm spending the most time on thinking out in what order should I cover the particular topics.
In chapter about DOS programming I want to get reader from the very beginning to the quite advanced topics like VESA, DPMI, etc. And also it will be good to teach how to use some ultimate references like RBIL.

This is for complete newbies to assembly programming and fasm, right?

It's starting from the topics for complete newbies, but in later sections I want to discuss more advanced topics, to satisfy the experienced programmers, too. You'll just have a choice from which point do you want to begin reading, depending on your experience level.

Thad I'd like (I've never really understood teh VESA, I've seen many toy OSes use it for the graphics).

it looks like a very good start at a well thought out tutorial.
I will be watching this thread to follow its progress.
Thank You.
Joe

Hi Privalov:

Yesterday at night (2:00 a.m), i read your last upload of the FASM tutorial.....thanx a lot....i really helps me a lot in understanding the basic rules of ASM.......i'm feel more confortable now with mov, add, inc......I hope you can finish it soon, coz i'm willing to learn FASM like a pro
I hope, that in a few days.....when i have some spare time, i could write at least a little program, to share with the community......don't expect greatness, but expect a little piece of code, from a FASM beginner who really wants to learn.

great job, you did

helped me to get started

maybe you could have a word on comments?
granted, that is mentioned in the docs downloaded with fasm, but it might help if you included a litte mention in the tutorial as well.

Hi Privalov:

Are you still in holidays??? Well, if you are....so don't pay attention to my request .
Anyway.....my request is......are you going to post the new version of your FASM tutorial???? Coz i really want to continue reading it.
Take Care,

Same here. I can hardly wait for the next installment.

I have just returned and starting to work on it again. As soon as some noticeable progress is done, I'll post the new version here.

Thanx a lot Privalov and thanx for your time!
