Assembly x64 Programming in easy steps: Modern coding for MASM, SSE & AVX

by Mike McGrath

Assembly x64 Programming in easy steps shows how to write code to create your own computer programs. It contains separate chapters demonstrating how to store and manipulate data in 64-bit registers, how to control program flow, and how to create reusable blocks of code in program functions. It includes demonstrations of parallel processing with 128-bit Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) and 256-bit Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX).Assembly x64 Programming in easy steps has an easy-to-follow style that will appeal to anyone who wants to begin programming in modern x64 Assembly language on Windows. The code in the listed steps within the book is color-coded, making it easier for beginners to grasp. There are complete step-by-step example programs that demonstrate each aspect of coding, together with screenshots that illustrate the actual output when each program is executed.Includes free, downloadable source code to get you started straightaway!Table of Beginning BasicsGetting StartedPerforming ArithmeticDirecting FlowAddressing OptionsHandling StringsBuilding BlocksExpanding MacrosFloating PointsCalling WindowsIncorporating Code

Excellent book.
If you wanted a step-by-step guide to learning how to use Microsoft assembly in Visual Studio.

I love this family of books, they're exactly what you want for a beginner.

I HATE other books that are just "this command's useful" and "this one too". With no context, whatsoever.

Here I'll prove it.

To run the b-link, simply open korn, and set the j bit flag with "ergergehgeh ergeger- ewE".

Or would you want what this book does-
Go to Project.

Excellent book for beginners.

A basic introduction to x64 assembly. It's enough to get your feet wet, but at times I felt it skimped on details that are important in fully understanding what's going on. I like that it touched on the Win32 API and intrinsics, but again, it was very basic coverage. If you're wanting to learn assembly to actually do something useful, you're going to need other books.
