Assembly

I'm interested in learning assembly, so i can better understand how my code executes with the hopes of writing more effecient code. Does anyone have any good suggestions on books and or sites?

IBM PC Assembly Language and Programming 5th Edition # ISBN-10: 013030655X # ISBN-13: 978-0130306555 Extremely good. I used an earlier edition as a textbook when I was in school.

From what i can see from the Amazon reviews, it's a good book but it contains some buggy and poorly written examples, so i'd say it's best for beginners to supplement this book with something else as well, although an experienced programmer won't have as much trouble with it since they already have the necessary knowledge.

I was just thinking about Assembly. I may have a rare opportunity. A company may want to hire me full time as a C++ developer. It's been a whopping long time for me and I was just thinking "do people still say thunking". I've been thinking about the ramifications of running my own growing company and working in another. Dunno why but it's appealing to contract some of my work out and then be back in C++ full time. They'd have to let me stay at home to work and it'd have to be kinda flexible with my schedule but they seem interested enough knowing what I do and all that they still found me out and called me. Could be an interesting 2007 after all and 7 is a great number.:suss::cool:

Rex, If you are in a position to farm out some work from your own company to contractors so you can take on this additional role full time (or maybe you could offer them 4 days per week so you still have 1 working day each week that you can spend with other clients etc) then you should give it some serious thought. You can't get rich using your own time only, as there are only a limited number of hours in the day and one of you, so you use your time wisely, and have other people working for you (for each hour they work, you get a cut)... Good luck with it! D.

Not if they are okay with it. They fully know what I do and that's how the found me to pursue me to begin with. If they say, "You need to stop what you are doing." then I'll walk away. I'm self-employed and I always will be and that's the way this story ends no matter who I work for. :-D

I couldn't agree more. It's like walking past money in a field and not picking it up. It's a great opportunity and it might just fit me like a SIDI cycling shoe.

If you had qualified that by saying "As a contractor you can't get rich..." I would agree but as a developer writing software for sale to the general public you most certainly can get rich on your own time only.

Absolutely true. Got any ideas?:laugh:

I hope it pans out for you. That could be a great thing for your family. :rose:

Hundreds, you can't have any of them. :) I was a contract programmer once, I felt at the time as I was doing it that it was a suckers game and I feel even more so that way now. Here I was writing code over and over again, getting paid by the hour or job once then moving on and doing it all over again. Now, any code I write, I'll be selling that same product countless times over for years to come. Of course it's a *lot* more work than contracting ever was for the first few years. One hour of writing contract code was just that, one hour of code, one hour of pay. Now, one hour of time spent writing code for software we sell to the public in general has almost exponential rewards that keep giving and giving. The feeling is *completely* different.

Yes, I should have qualified that statement a bit better... I was speaking in contractor terms, ie: dollars x hours = money.

I like MASM32. Maybe not for a beginner but there's lot of tutorials included also so...

I think it's definitely a worthy goal, I don't know who the numbnut is who voted you a 1 for this but I hope they get a boil in their "personal space". ;)

Just curious as to what kind of applications you normally code?
