I do plan to write a book about assembly, but what I have in mind would have a much wider scope. But there are also plans of my further cooperation with the author of a recently published book, and what he writes may be better focused on things like modern x64 coding.

It isn't been updated since 2014 i believe. Ill check out the link to the book! ![]() Eventually its really important for you to create a great work in book form like you did with creating Flat-assembler. Its like first inventing something amazing and then creating a user manual for it. Best of luck !! Jochen Last edited by jochenvnltn on 05 Jan 2018, 11:17; edited 1 time in total |

People do remember me - nice to know. The blog is still there, the problem is time. However, I plan to "re-activate" it soon. BTW, did you like the book? |

Hello Alexey Lyashko ![]() So good to find you here! Yes i liked the book very much. I wish you would cover more about coding 64bit ASM with flat assembler. Maybe that's a whole new book .. ![]() |

Thanks! This is quite a motivating feedback. In fact I am considering an option of a new book, but it is hard to find a publisher. Assembly is not that popular these days (unfortunately)... jochenvnltn wrote:
That's a good idea in deed. There's, if I remember correctly, only one post that deals with 64-bit, the one on Linux kernel module. Will try to add some new content soon. |

I completely understand, its also a bit of a money & time investment and then see how it turns out. What you should do for the time being, is to create an E-book in PDF format and see how much interest is in it. (I would buy it). In that way you only have to invest some time and it might give you new ideas on how your next book it going to look like. ![]() |

Money is not a problem - writing a PDF does not cost a thing, publishing a printed book is publisher's business. Time is the most precious resource and I am experiencing an outstanding lack thereof. I already know what my next book is going to look like. Have been planning it long before I started the "Mastering Assembly Programming" project ![]() As to the interest - this is a gray area. Assembly has been discriminated for decades upon decades. Generations of script kiddies have been risen by now, who consider writing 10 PRINT "Hello, World" as top skill (this is slightly exaggerated, of course, but only slightly). Each person willing to by a book on Assembly has at least 10 companions who would tell him/her not to, and not everyone has enough courage to say "f*ck off" to them ![]() Bottom line - I am writing a book on Assembly programming the way I believe it should be done. Putting all the essential information together and leaving all the scholar and all the "this will sell better" bullsh*t aside (no offense meant for scholars ![]() BTW, here's the draft of the first chapter http://syprog.blogspot.com/2018/08/idea-for-new-book-on-x86-assembly.html |

Well, anyway, I feel the guilt of taking the discussion off the topic. Regarding the 64-bit programming with FASM, there are plenty of good examples here http://flatassembler.net/examples.php Also, there's enough basic documentation on the Internet (like description of calling conventions, etc.) |
