If you refer to "The Art of 64-Bit Assembly", while this is correct, there are two things to consider 1. the real meat of ASM doesn't really depend on the Assembler, so one can (and ends up) coding the exercise with the Assembler of their choice 2. people have freely contributed the translation of the listings/programs to all the major Assemblers, so even if one doesn't want to code their own version, they can just use the contributed versions Certainly, there are some chapters expressly dedicated to MASM functionalities, so those are wasted. As a matter of fact, I worked through it on Linux/NASM, and wasn't really bothered, as the book is really good quality.
