From the Publisher\nA practical new introduction to the assembly language used in the popular Intel line of microprocessors...including the latest family member, the Pentium. This text effectively explains the "mystery" of micrprocessors through detailed coverage of the architecture of the foundational 8088, including step-by-step instruction in how to program it, and strong discussion of the many ways in which it is used in the DOS environment. Coverage encompasses both hardware and software, as well as interfacing with the PC keyboard, display, printer, mouse, and disk drives. Coverage of programming techniques includes coprocessor utilization, link libraries, macros, and interrupts. Plus, included right in the text, is a hands-on project that involves students in building their own single-board computer.

Assuming no prior programming experience, this author team introduces the concept of structured programming through BASIC. This highly accessible language is used to develop the solid programming habits that are required by higher-level languages such as C and C++. Throughout the book, the clearest possible examples are used to illustrate new concepts while frequent technical applications are presented to portray programming as an essential tool for the solution, analysis, and design of technical problems. Coverage includes an introduction followed by chapters on using the computer; structured programming; computations and comparisons; making decisions—branch blocks; loop blocks; arrays; string manipulation and sorting; computer graphics; using files; ASCII character set; and an introduction to Visual BASIC. For practicing computer programmers and anyone interested in computers in general, computer programming with BASIC in specific.
