Assembly is a low-level programming language that's one step above a computer's native machine language. Although assembly language is commonly used for writing device drivers, emulators, and video games, many programmers find its somewhat unfriendly syntax intimidating to learn and use. Since 1996, Randall Hyde's The Art of Assembly Language has provided a comprehensive, plain-English, and patient introduction to 32-bit x86 assembly for non-assembly programmers. Hyde's primary teaching tool, High Level Assembler (or HLA), incorporates many of the features found in high-level languages (like C, C++, and Java) to help you quickly grasp basic assembly concepts. HLA lets you write true low-level code while enjoying the benefits of high-level language programming. As you read The Art of Assembly Language, you'll learn the low-level theory fundamental to computer science and turn that understanding into real, functional code. You'll learn how to: -Edit, compile, and run HLA programs -Declare and use constants, scalar variables, pointers, arrays, structures, unions, and namespaces -Translate arithmetic expressions (integer and floating point) -Convert high-level control structures This much anticipated second edition of The Art of Assembly Language has been updated to reflect recent changes to HLA and to support Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD. Whether you're new to programming or you have experience with high-level languages, The Art of Assembly Language, 2nd Edition is your essential guide to learning this complex, low-level language.

"The Art of ARM Assembly is a comprehensive masterclass that guides you through the instruction set for the increasingly popular 64-bit ARM CPU, teaching you to both translate high-level language operations into assembly language and write powerful programs unique to ARM. Readers first learn basic 64-bit ARM architecture and syntax for the GNU assembler, then they go in-depth on the fundamentals of machine organization, computer data representation and operations, and memory access. After building a strong foundation by mastering Gas procedures, control structures, and arithmetic functions, the book dives into advanced ARM programming. Each chapter includes exercises to test your skills and resources for further learning"--

If you work with embedded systems, you''re bound to encounter the ubiquitous Inter-Integrated Circuit bus (IIC, I2C, or I2C) - a serial protocol for connecting integrated circuits in a computer system. In The Book of I2C, the first comprehensive guide to this bus, bestselling author Randall Hyde draws on 40 years of industry experience to get you started designing and programming I2C systems.

Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level, the second volume in the landmark Write Great Code series by Randall Hyde, covers high-level programming languages (such as Swift and Java) as well as code generation on 64-bit CPUsARM, the Java Virtual Machine, and the Microsoft Common Runtime.Today's programming languages offer productivity and portability, but also make it easy to write sloppy code that isn't optimized for a compiler. Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level will teach you to craft source code that results in good machine code once it's run through a compiler.You'll learn: • How to analyze the output of a compiler to verify that your code generates good machine code • The types of machine code statements that compilers generate for common control structures, so you can choose the best statements when writing HLL code • Enough assembly language to read compiler output • How compilers convert various constant and variable objects into machine dataWith an understanding of how compilers work, you'll be able to write source code that they can translate into elegant machine code.NEW TO THIS EDITION, COVERAGE OF: • Programming languages like Swift and Java • Code generation on modern 64-bit CPUs • ARM processors on mobile phones and tablets • Stack-based architectures like the Java Virtual Machine • Modern language systems like the Microsoft Common Language Runtime

Lean how to write highly legible, maintainable code that everybody thinks is great.
