Aiming to prove that writing programs for Windows in the Assembly language is no more difficult than writing the same programs using C/C++, this guide shows how Assembly code is actually more compact and executes faster. The algorithmic knowledge and skills lost in high-level programming provides the justification demonstrated in this guide for using Assembly code. Working applications with detailed comments and descriptions of their operating principles, along with material that can be considered hackish, are included. The tools and techniques of code analysis and modification are covered, making this a useful tool for programmers eager to become better acquainted with hacker methods. Not a guide on Assembly language, this represents a symbiosis between the Assembly language and the Windows operating system.

Not recommended for beginners
I was very disappointed with this book. It seemed like a text book that required and Instructor to follow along. The first chapter instructed that you should read a book on processor commands and operation or at least be familiar with them before attempting to read it. (would of been nice to know before purchase)It was a waste of money to me! Couldn't even finish it. Too confusing with no help available when you got stuck! Should of read more reviews before purchasing.

An excellent Book!
The book is remarkable. To judge it using such irrelevant criterion such as `It's difficult` or `No source code available` is like to judge Mozart's opera by saying: `Well, I could not really hear much`, or `The buffet was not selling my favorite brand of coffee.` Too bad.

Good, but difficult
I'm like A-List Publishing books, but this book is difficult. Excellent code with bad cemments.

A warning
There is no source code available for this book - at least that I can find anywhere; the email address given on the back of the book is dead and the publisher's site is out of date - not even listing the book itself.

So, if you're going to use the book, be prepared for an awful lot of typing ,,. or pay a visit to Iczelion's Win32ASM site - you'll find plenty to interest you there.
