Assembly Language Step-by-Step: Programming with Linux

Product Description

The eagerly anticipated new edition of the bestselling introduction to x86 assembly language

The long-awaited third edition of this bestselling introduction to assembly language has been completely rewritten to focus on 32-bit protected-mode Linux and the free NASM assembler. Assembly is the fundamental language bridging human ideas and the pure silicon hearts of computers, and popular author Jeff Dunteman retains his distinctive lighthearted style as he presents a step-by-step approach to this difficult technical discipline.

He starts at the very beginning, explaining the basic ideas of programmable computing, the binary and hexadecimal number systems, the Intel x86 computer architecture, and the process of software development under Linux. From that foundation he systematically treats the x86 instruction set, memory addressing, procedures, macros, and interface to the C-language code libraries upon which Linux itself is built.

Serves as an ideal introduction to x86 computing concepts, as demonstrated by the only language directly understood by the CPU itself

Uses an approachable, conversational style that assumes no prior experience in programming of any kind

Presents x86 architecture and assembly concepts through a cumulative tutorial approach that is ideal for self-paced instruction

Focuses entirely on free, open-source software, including Ubuntu Linux, the NASM assembler, the Kate editor, and the Gdb/Insight debugger.

Includes an x86 instruction set reference for the most common machine instructions, specifically tailored for use by programming beginners

Woven into the presentation are plenty of assembly code examples, plus practical tips on software design, coding, testing, and debugging, all using free, open-source software that may be downloaded without charge from the Internet.

Noises Source Vehicle Scripting | 250 MB

Source® Vehicle Scripting, part of the Noesis Interactive™ MOD Your World™ training series, presents you with an in depth guide to vehicle script modification in the Source engine, as well as a primer on the physics concepts behind their operation in the Episode One engine.
In a step-by-step process, examine the purpose and various uses for every scriptable property of the vehicle systems. Vehicle scripts present a particular problem due to the complex, hidden interactions between variables. With Source Vehicle Scripting, you’ll learn not only what those interactions are, but you’ll also go through examples of how to fine tune them to get the results you are looking for. From a drag racing sports car to one that defies gravity, you’ll run the gamut of possible changes and learn from experiance the limits of scripting.
This tutorial is the perfect choice for anyone prefering casual vehicle modification without the involvement of C++, as well as those learning programming fundamentals and interested in the relationship between script and code.

DVD topics covered include:
* What is a script file?
* Setting up a new mod
* Overview of standard vehicle physics
* Real world vs. video game vehicle mechanics
* Scipt value relationships
* Troubleshooting guide
* Detailed script reference guide
