You should include "Assembling Process (steps, parsing, lexical analysis etc)" in Chapter 1 or 2. Just a short description to save you time much later when messing up with macros (compile time vs assembly time). I think you should include other FASM docs in here. Nowadays I would prefer to use fasm g as the main tool for demonstrations. For x86 ones I could perhaps take the approach of taking samples that would assemble with both the old fasm or the fasm g after selecting the right headers. It could be nice to already have fasm 2 for such purpose, but I really have no other good reason to start such a big project right now. fasmnewbie wrote: 4) DOS discussion should go somewhere in the Appendix. For historical reason, you can begin with COM or MZ "hello world" there but then you should just quickly skip the DOS discussion to some place else. But that "hello world" is important to meet the expectations of HLL programmers. Kind of a initiation ritual. fasmnewbie wrote: That's what I can suggest so far from a quick look of that old tutorial you wrote. Other people may suggest other things. Nice way to go. |

fasmnewbie: It sounds as though you are suggesting a tutorial. A manual would be a different thing. You can, of course, have both in the same document but one needs to recognise that they have a different purpose and would be written in a different way.

revo, my initial answer was different, but since the site been too slow, I can't put them through and had to repost over and over. Now it's a lot different than my original post.

I wouldn't have as many issues with twitter as do with Facebook, but tweeting is so difficult to grasp for myself. Regardless, I will attempt to get by in any format that FAsm presents itself.

As I see it, it gathers people with various areas of expertise (apparently it is popular among journalists), but the assembly language is at least under-represented there. Though there are some small discoveries: https://twitter.com/solardiz/status/803425686824349697 The reason why I considered this medium is that I thought posting some quick little texts about curiosities related to assembly could be easier for me to do regularly compared to writing a full-length articles. But any such small snippets do require some prior knowledge of the topic and it makes little sense when there is no audience at least slightly familiar with the subject. |

Well I don't know. Twitter is good for quick announcements, but in order to reach bigger auditory, one needs to be very active. Approximately 2..3 posts a day is the minimal amount in order to collect enough followers.
Posting only when you have something new to say is useless. ![]() |

Hey, there's a new idea: Twitter-like network with LaTeX rendering.

The few ones that follow me perhaps already know, but I put out some first tweets today. While writing my new tutorials on file formats I keep finding small curiosities that are at the boundary or outside of the scope of tutorial itself, and I decided that Twitter could be a good place to share such findings while working on a "more serious" text.

Tomasz, your writing style is already pretty clear and concise. You could start writing the book as a github repository and any contributor who feels able to improve grammar or syntax without changing the general idea may help.
That way you remain with sole authorship and the collaborators will forfeit any future economical gains as a contribution to fasm itself. |
