The purpose of
this book is to give the reader a better understanding of how computers really
work at a lower level than in programming languages like Pascal. By gaining a
deeper understanding of how computers work, the reader can often be much more
productive developing software in higher level languages such as C and C++.
Learning to program in assembly language is an excellent way to achieve this
goal.
This lecture note covers
essential topics such as system architecture, assembly processes, DOS file
operations, debugging, and Intel 8088 CPU registers, the course emphasizes
hands-on learning with practical assignments. The content explores addressing
modes, ASCII representation, system calls, segments, logical instructions, and
graphics programming. These notes serve as a valuable resource for students
seeking proficiency in low-level programming and hardware interfacing on the IBM
PC.
