The second edition introduces high-level assembly (HLA) though. I never found HLA to be that appealing. I'd be curious to know if anyone who has read the book found it to be useful in learning assembly. I used "Assembly Language for x86 processors" by Kip Irvine, and I thought it was pretty good.

I've had many an argument with Randy over HLA and I agree. His point is that it makes assembly and computer programming at a low level easier to understand but I just don't see it.

Agreed. I read the first edition and it was a pleasure.

The second one felt like "what's the point? I'd rather learn C".
