Hello. I am new to FASM (in fact I could say I have zero knowledge about assembler) but I'd like to learn... I need some help with FASM. I find the documentation too small and I don't understand a bit. Any links\help highly appreciated. BTW, I'm a PureBasic programmer, does this help?

Thanks!

Thanks!

The book I learnt asm from was The Art of Assembly Language Programming which explains a lot of starts. Personally, I read only the DOS edition (don't think it's outdated, in my opinion we learn from all things, and I hate to call something obsolete; nevertheless, it explains assembly from low-level perspective, and you want to learn assembly don't you, in fact, you can skip the DOS chapter if you don't like dos). And it was the book that made me love asm. I encourage you to read it.

The most important key to all learning is to enjoy doing it. i.e it's not like someone forces you to learn, you learn because you want and thus you need to enjoy it. Your will is the key, it's important to put effort and never accept defeat. Cool

Then, after you're more proficient, just try some googling, personally I learnt from various articles. Just search what you need for. If you can't find it or don't know how it's named, feel free to check forums. IMHO, forums are a must.


and one more thing: don't be discouraged by many people that will tell you that asm is useless/etc.. Simply ignore them. They are only consumptive people that simply can't understand such low-level things, and have nothing else to do than spread their plague.
just remember, we are here Wink


happy learning Very Happy

Gotta agree with you. That's the best way you'll learn, is if you enjoy doing it. All I do on the PC is code. I used to exclusively code in C; I've always wanted to learn assembly, and finally I am an it's my new favorite language. Any new application I write now, I do it in assembly. It's fun.

I actually "learned" from an excellent book, Programming from the Ground Up. All code is in GAS (which I really don't like), but the conversion from GAS to fasm syntax is quite easy.

I also learn by just doing; moreso than anything in fact. The more code you write, the more you will learn, and gain experience. There is a limit to how much you can learn from reading (as far as programming goes); however, if you constantly code, you will constantly learn.
