You might be interested in my on-line book at:

  http://www.drpaulcarter.com/pcasm/

It uses NASM and has Linux examples.

Also,

http://www.linuxassembly.org/

is a good source of Linux assembly info

asm newbie about asm-utils !

[Anticipating a Reply]

Hi !

  I was wondering why the "a-linux" 
development is using "nasm" as the
assembler tool ?

  This is not to hurt the sentiments
of any community or bcoz of a bias to
a particular assembler .

  Should it not be convinient to 
stick to GNU-assembler ,.ie.gas ,
because it is a standard tool 
used in gcc & linux . 

   It becomes pretty clumsy trying
to learn about different assemblers 
instead of perfecting a single tool .

   Is it possible to compile the 
"a-linux" using gas ?


With Regards.

hello,

first, sorry if this mailing-list is not the right one.

Two years ago, I learned "MS-DOS" assembly (I forget it now) and now, I
would like to learn 32 bits unix assembly.

Where can I find a good doc or is there a good book about assembly under
unix and particulary Linux ?

Yours,
Benjamin

Hi,

Perhaps the best book (actually the only book) I've run across is called
"Assembly Language Step-by-Step: Programming with DOS and Linux" by Jeff
Dunemann. It starts out with a nice system architecture tutorial that
most anyone can grasp, eventually gets into studying 16-bit DOS assembly
and ends off with a few chapters covering 32-bit Linux assembly. The 2nd
edition of the book has a number of (usually minor) errors in it:
http://www.thelinuxgurus.org/assembly.shtml

The good thing about this book is that it covers using the Open Source
assembler NASM (the Netwide ASseMbler) with both DOS and Linux ports in
it's examples. The CD-ROM also includes NASM-IDE and Alink. NASM uses
Intel syntax assembly which might refresh some of your memory:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nasm  

Linux has the GAS assembler which uses the AT&T syntax of assembly. More
can be read about GAS here:
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Assembly-HOWTO/gas.html

The Art Of Assembly by Randall Hyde is a free assembly programming
manual you can download for Win32, Linux (32-bit) and DOS (16-bit)
assembly. Many good links on his site too: http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/

Have fun,
Jim
