DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this book is to give the reader a better understanding ofhow computers really work at a lower level than in programming languageslike Pascal. By gaining a deeper understanding of how computers work, thereader can often be much more productive developing software in higher levellanguages such as C and C++. Learning to program in assembly languageis an excellent way to achieve this goal. Other PC assembly language booksstill teach how to program the 8086 processor that the original PC used in1981! The 8086 processor only supported real mode. In this mode, anyprogram may address any memory or device in the computer. This mode isnot suitable for a secure, multitasking operating system. This book insteaddiscusses how to program the 80386 and later processors in protected mode(the mode that Windows and Linux runs in). This mode supports thefeatures that modern operating systems expect, such as virtual memory andmemory protection.
