Customer Reviews

Great at getting to the point.

It wastes no words - it gets to the point and delivers the depth of knowledge that I would expect from a book of this price, although it does have lots of details. This is a great book - Its' only drawback is it needs a little bit simpler coverage as to the whys and how's. If you don't mind SUPER Details this book - WILL - teach you how to program in Assembler.

not perfect, but very helpful

So it doesn't have MVCL or CLCL! The beginner doesn't need those instructions right away. I would recommend this text as a good one for the beginning student....if you want more detail, there are plenty of books available. I didn't know ANY assembler, and this was the only text I used to learn it...and I'm doing just fine. You can learn more difficult instructions from the IBM principles of operations manual.

Excellent for my needs...to further understand internals

This is an excellent book with good examples for a entry/junior level assembler programmer. The approach is unique in that the focus is on the instructions at the basic level. Each level is progressively expanded. Being a Cobol programmer, the book broadened my understanding of computer internals. I also have the Stern Cobol manual which is excellent and productivity oriented.
