Programming from the Ground Up
Overview
Programming from the Ground Up is an introduction to programming using Linux assembly language. Assembly language is the language of the computer itself. To be a programmer without ever learning assembly language is like being a professional race car driver without understanding how your carburetor works. To be a truly successful programmer, you have to understand exactly what the computer sees when it is running a program. Nothing short of learning assembly language will do that for you. Assembly language is often seen as a black art among today's programmers - with those knowing this art being more productive, more knowledgeable, and better paid, even if they primarily work in other languages. This book covers many topics together which most books leave programmers to learn on their own, such as memory management, virtual memory, system calls, linking, and optimization.
