I read the first edition at the time and was excited for the new one when it was released but the HLA stuff killed it for me. It was like spending time learning a worse C that would never be used anywhere and wasn't improving my knowledge of Assembly itself.
- Galanwe 2y agoAgree 100%, the HLA ruined all the fun, it's just not what people "The Art of Assembly" want to learn.
- pjmlp 2y agoI was luckly unaware of this, when I clicked the link I was expecting HLA to be some description of how good macro Assemblers used to be for writing Assembly, where it can almost feel like using an high level language, with proper use of macros and Assembler directives. Exactly, HLA is not what people expect to be learning when mentioning Assembly.
