Publisher's Synopsis
Master the Power and Precision of x64 Assembly-Step by Step!
Unlock the hidden potential of your computer's architecture by learning x64 Assembly programming from the ground up! Whether you're a software developer looking to harness complete control and optimization, an engineering student eager to demystify computer internals, or an ambitious hobbyist passionate to learn how technology truly works-this hands-on textbook, packed with full x64 assembly code examples, has you covered.
Inside, you'll learn practical, step-by-step approaches to critical programming scenarios, including:
- Manipulating Data: Master registers and perform integer arithmetic, logical operations, bit-shifts, and rotations.
- Efficient Control Flow: Create loops, conditional branching, recursion, and robust function calls with precise stack management.
- String & Array Handling: Build routines for string comparisons, copying, concatenation, and iteration; implement fundamental searching and sorting algorithms such as binary search and bubble sort in pure x64 Assembly.
- Real-World Algorithms & Structures: Code linked lists, queues, stacks, binary trees, bit masks, and dynamic memory management from scratch.
- File Operations & System Interaction: Read and write file operations, parse command-line inputs, and perform dynamic memory allocations directly through assembly-level system calls.
- Numerical & Data Processing: Carry out multiprecision arithmetic, floating-point operations, number-base conversions, random number generation, and implement checksum and CRC routines.
- Performance Optimization with SIMD: Harness SIMD vector instructions to dramatically boost performance on tasks like vector additions and numeric calculations.
- Security & Encryption: Understand and implement XOR-based encryption routines and checksums to protect and verify data integrity.
- And Much More: From recursion to base64 encoding, run-length compression algorithms, reverse Polish notation calculations, and fixed-point arithmetic-every chapter provides clear, concise, and fully tested code examples designed specifically for quick learning and rapid mastery.
Each lesson moves from clear explanations to working code examples, gradually building your proficiency and confidence. You'll gain a deep understanding of assembly instruction sets, memory management, and the strategies professionals use daily to write robust, highly optimized low-level code.
Transform your understanding of software development, take absolute control of hardware resources, and build a rock-solid foundation in computer architecture-order now and begin your journey today!
