Features: This book selects the widely popular PCs and their compatible machines with Intel 80x86 series as CPUs as the hardware platform, and DOS and Windows as the software platform, to deeply discuss assembly language programming in real mode and protected mode. The book is divided into 12 chapters, consisting of two parts. The first part introduces the basic knowledge of the Intel 80x86 series microprocessor and real-mode assembly language programming, with the main content including: prerequisites, basic knowledge of the microprocessor, addressing modes and instruction set, assembly language program organization, basic program structure and programming, subroutine and macro instruction design, real-mode I/O programming, and advanced assembly language programming techniques. The second part introduces Windows-based protected mode programming, with the main content including: 32-bit CPU and Windows basics, fundamentals of Windows assembly language programming, in-depth Windows assembly programming, protected mode and its applications. The content of this book is presented in a step-by-step manner, with rich examples. Many complete programs are challenging real-world applications and are highly valuable for reference. Each chapter of the book is followed by exercises to help readers review and reinforce the knowledge learned. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in computer science and technology and related fields in higher education, as well as a reference for computer development and research engineers.
