I have looked at fatbrain.com and amazon.com, and looked up assember and MASM, and on either one, only 2 books were written after 1995! Where can I find a good guide to learn from no knowledge whatsoever how to do some basic inline MASM? Bean Dog

you must know about Iczelion dont you?

http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/winasm/index.html

has some of the best tutorials on the net

Wow, that was a great site!

But I don''t think you realize the size of my dilemma.

My total knowledge of asm is like this:
-asm stands for assembler

OK? I need a place that gives really basic instruction on how to work with registers, simple math, writing functions and calling them, etc. - for use in inline VC++ asm programming. Got it? I need to optimize some routines that only asm will do for.

Im trying to learn the basics as well, so i can also program assembly in my VC source code.

See if you can track down the Game Programmer''s Encyclopaedia. It''s quite an old DOS-based set of text files (although a windows help version is around), some of which deal with assembly from scratch. Helped me fine.

Realisticly though, the internet is full of ASM tuts, jsut do a search for "ASM + beginner + tutorial".

The best book(online) that I have ever found is at:
here

It''s the only assembly tutorial I have found that a beginner could understand. Icezilion''s(sp.) are close, but if you don''t know much about 80x86 architecture they''re hopeless.

Ok, sorry about that. i guess my link didn''t work. Anyways here''s the url:

Try this link:

You may need a little basic knoledge...I haven''t looked at it for a while

i think the ''art of assembly'' is really good too.
i am also new at this, and this assumes you know nothing. i think any winasm is going to be harder than this(i don''t know for sure but this is what i heard). i think someone put the link up before but i''ll put it up again

Art of Assembly

it starts you off with simple things like binary, and hexadecimal numbers...

try this one:

this was how i started to learn assembly. after reading and understanding it, i advise you to get a book on assembly to get you going deeper in the language.
