Good ASM Tutorial {Not a Question}

[morrowasted]

I have a seen quite a few threads saying" I am a newb to ASM and I want to learn it where do I start?"

Well, I found just the tutorial for you.

It can be found here:

http://blacksun.box.sk/tutorials.php/id/84

It also provides links Assembler downloads for A86 and TASM.

This teaches 16-bit DOS assembly.

is that bad?

It's kinda useless, unless you want to write a bootstrap.

i dooooo

And even in a bootstrap, one of your first tasks should be to switch to 32 bit fast as you can.

I know that the DOS interrupts would be kinda useless if you do 32-bit, but does it really matter if all you are doing is trying to learn the instruction set?

[CornedBee]

Depends on how you see it. MASM won't properly assemble it for example, neither does any other 32-bit assembler, which are far easier to work with because you don't have to care about segments and such.

Do you even know what Assembly is? It sounds to me like you thought you could post a link to a tutorial you know nothing about to make yourself look 'l33t' (used that because you wrote newb).


CornedBee: I've been experimenting with writing Operating Systems that are bootable from floppy disk, using TASM. Pros/Cons of doing so? (in TASM)...

That's a little harsh...

Some poeple started learning 16-bit assembler and they did not get the chance to move into 32-bit assembler. It does not mean that they do not know how to use assembler.
