How can a new programmer(like me :D .I know D language and base of programming.) start Assembly?

[RhetoricalRuvim]

@NewProgrammer: What do you currently know about assembly?

[NewProgrammer]

I know basic commands like "MOV,ADD,INC,DEC,registers etc" but I want to learn write assembly programs.i can't write now.

Can you help me?

Mod note: moved to separate thread. Please use the "Assembly Resources" thread for posting resources only, not asking questions.

I recommend you read The Art Of Assembly Language. I posted a link to it in the Resources thread.

@NewProgrammer: Do you have an assembler that you want to use (such as NASM, MASM32, TASM, ...)?

I usually use NASM when I want to write .com files. I use MASM32 to write Win32 .exe applications.


About DOS system calls (which are used in .com files), there's this page I found:
DR-DOS System and Programmer's Guide

About MASM32 programming, there are these tutorials:
http://www.acm.uiuc....s/winasmtut.pdf
http://win32assembly.../tutorials.html


Oh, and also NASM can be used to write boot-sectors/executives, with its flat-form binary output format.
Edit: There are tutorials a little about assembly language and some about boot sector / operating system writing (using NASM) at:
Building an OS

dargueta;
I'm sorry.I will pay attention this subject.

Rhetorical;
I'm using Linux.Can you suggest the resources for Linux?

[dargueta]

@RR: You responded to the wrong thread, so I moved your post for you. :)
@NP: NASM works on most common operating systems including Linux, so use that.

[NewProgrammer]

I understand,but are the commands the same as Windows' commands?

[dargueta]

What do you mean by commands?
Command-line invocation: Yes.
Actual assembly instructions, directives, etc.: Yes.

[RhetoricalRuvim]

The "commands" are called instructions. They can also be called opcodes or mnemonics. But yes, they are the same for any Intel or AMD processor.

Some resources for Linux, that I found:
Linux Assembly Tutorial - Step-by-Step Guide
Writing A Useful Program With NASM
Linux Assembly: resources

[dargueta]

Definitely post your last two link-filled posts into the Assembly Resources thread.

[NewProgrammer]

Commands=Mnemonics or instruction I meant it.

The resources is very good.I will study it.
