About this title

Synopsis

This is the third edition of this assembly language programming textbook introducing programmers to 64 bit Intel assembly language. The primary addition to the third edition is the discussion of the new version of the free integrated development environment, ebe, designed by the author specifically to meet the needs of assembly language programmers. The new ebe is a C++ program using the Qt library to implement a GUI environment consisting of a source window, a data window, a register, a floating point register window, a backtrace window, a console window, a terminal window and a project window along with 2 educational tools called the "toy box" and the "bit bucket". The source window includes a full-featured text editor with convenient controls for assembling, linking and debugging a program. The project facility allows a program to be built from C source code files and assembly source files. Assembly is performed automatically using the yasm assembler and linking is performed with ld

In 1978 he completed an M.S. degree in Mathematics from the University of Southern Mississippi. He worked for 5 years as a scientific programmer at NASA beginning in 1977. His work at NASA included Fortran and Assembly programming for remote sensing and image processing on a variety of 16 and 32 bit computers. In 1984 we returned to school at the University of Florida to study Computer Science. He completed his Ph.D. at Florida in 1989. From 1990 to 2012 Dr. Seyfarth taught Computer Science at the University of Southern Mississippi. He taught a wide variety of subjects and enjoyed learning new languages and algorithms. He retired from Southern Miss in 2012 and since retirement has spent his time writing, programming, woodworking and gardening.
