I am new to assembly

Can i copy paste this code in fasm assembler and make it work ?

For some background about the differences these topics might help.

But I recommend you look at the \examples\* folder in the fasm download zip for how fasm does things. You can use a fasm example as the base and develop your code from there. That would be easier than trying to convert from masm code. Unless, that is, you have to convert because your current code base is in masm.

Thanks for the reply revolution ,

I looked at the example folder and only saw a window based assembly language example .

I am looking for a simple console based hello world program

Can someone help ?

as for Windows® assembly programming, fasm package misses a lot of examples
(Tomasz still doesn't understand that examples are to teach, not to advertize)

yet look at sources for fasmw.exe, fasm.exe, fasmd.exe
(try also Tomasz's programming videos)

you revolution could also search through the board and create one package of fine examples herein
(or at least make possible to download from one folder all related archives)

Examples for fasm mostly exist standalone out of fasm package.
And yes. Almost all masm32 package examples had translated to fasm syntax. somewhere like wasm.ru (its archive), (or site of forum member avcaballero), etc . Moreover fasm examples for win64 are much more numerous then masm ones.

search on forum history these packages:
FASMW64_4-22-2013.zip (very recomend, as avcaballero site and as wasm.ru archives)
fasmpak-win32.zip
and in fasmgwin.zip (these examples for fasmg specially fully compatibable with fasm)

EasyCode with same named multyassembler IDE, it has rich includes for fasm syntax too.

There are(in internet) patches and mods for games in fasm assembler syntax (homm MoP for example), but there are much more.

About couple of thousand programs(big & small) for windows exist in fasm are over Internet.

So windows supported with fasm examples very well.
Minus of all of them - they all are small and simple or big and complex (like fasm) without intermediate stage.

its kinda weird, that people call masm as an assembler.

Thanks for all the replies ,

I guess the right thing for me to do is to stay with MASM32 , because even though little by little i have been trying to learn that for more than a year now .

I was beginning to like the FASM assembler too

But there is clearly a lack of examples for new people

i think to understand fasm you need to understand how simple and flexible it is, i dont know what kind of person you are but if you are one of those who are able to learn from reading and practising then all you need is read docs from flat assembler's website as well as examples shipped with fasm.

im currently logged in using my phone, otherwise i would write some code samples or something more useful.

if you are still interested, please let me know and tell me what subsystem you often program for.

Try buying / reading Mastering Assembly Programming (Alexey Lyashko). It uses FASM, and Tomasz helped edit it a bit or whatever (see Main's A new book).

EDIT: Just to give yet another (non-FASM) suggestion, check out Ray Seyfarth's book(s) here. It sounds promising, at least, but I guess it depends on what you're trying to learn or do.
