Title: Nice if you want to learn tips&tricks and nothing more
Review: This is 5 stars if you want to learn only tips&tricks; an learn nothing about assembly. After you read this book you know how to write to files in assembly, how to paint a image on the screen....However this 'master class' learn you nearly nothing about assembly programming. It's just a tips&tricks; book. In a tips&tricks; world you don't survive, because your tips will be soon obsolete. You can better learn the ideas behind the tips. You do need to have a great insight in the fundamentals. With fundamentals I mean: how to make and call procedures. How to pass parameters to procedures in assembly, how are instructions processed by the processors etc.If you're looking for fundamentals in low level programming I would recommend 'Assembly Language and Computer Architecture Using C++ and Java' bij Mr. Reis (ISBN 0534405274).
