Low-Level Programming: C, Assembly, and Program Execution on Intel® 64 Architecture 1st ed. Edition

A learning experience worth having. The author presents the subject matter in a way that is concise and student friendly. I felt he has done a good job at breaking down the most important fundamentals of low level programming while providing insight to both its basic and advanced feature set. A treat of a book, best consumed with a pencil and paper in hand for note keeping, A great addition to my collection, This book covers a broad spectrum of information and doesn't fall short from being excellent. 2 thumbs up!

Very well written book on Intel 64 architecture and programming using both Assembly language and C. Clear instructions, numerous code samples compilable from the first try and many assignment forcing the reader to apply his newly acquired knowledge to writing useful and quite complicated code from scratch. The chapters on using C and Assembly in ensemble are especially valuable. There are many good books about C but this one is the best I've seen so far on Assembly and its productive use with C.

Absolutely fantastic, a fantastic coverage of low level programming with C and x64, it's hard to find a decent tutorial these days that covers a working/modern version of assembly so this was a breath of fresh air. Kudos to the author.

It is a very good book assuming you already know Assembly and C. Many of the chapters require that you hit the references for a more in depth review. However it does a great job in giving one a vocabulary to learn more and most certainly it was refreshing to see assembly and C under the same cover.You will need to read it more than once to get the most out of it

This is a great book for learning low level programming. Although, I am C++ programmer, I learned so much from it. Really get it and you won't be disappointed!

No question the author knows this stuff, however whether he's successful in explaining it, it's a different question. Some topics are properly covered and well explained, others (like memory segments and global desc table) are skimmed and feel rushed. Lack of samples and clarity. The content is quite poorly organized as well.I also felt it could have explained the differences between Linux, OSX and Windows, and at least covered a bit of ARM given its relevance these days.

Well done. A fascinating and insightful read, I learnt a ton. Thank you.

This book provides the foundation of most of the languages. Assembly, Forth, C and their many useful references. Well done!
