Kip Irvine has written five computer programming textbooks, for Intel Assembly Language, C++, Visual Basic, and COBOL. Along with Tony Gaddis, he is co-author of two books on Visual Basic: Starting Out with Visual Basic 2010, and Advanced Visual Basic 2010. His Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers has been translated into six languages. Kip grew up in Kailua, Hawaii as a surfer, sailor, and surfboard maker. He studied classical guitar and music composition at University of Hawaii, and earned a doctorate in music composition from the University of Miami in 1982. Around that time he began programming computers, and was a professor of Computer Information Systems at Miami-Dade College for 17 years. He also holds a MS in Computer Science from the University of Miami, and since 2000 has been on the faculty of the School of Computing and Information Sciences at Florida International University. He is also a programming team coach and a 4th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo.

Written specifically for 32- and 64-bit Intel/Windows platform, this complete and fullyupdated study of assembly language teaches students to write and debug programs at the machine level. This text simplifies and demystifies concepts that students need to grasp before they can go on to more advanced computer architecture and operating systems courses. Students put theory into practice through writing software at the machine level, creating a memorable experience that gives them the confidence to work in any OS/machine-oriented environment.

Additional learning and teaching tools are available on the author’s web site athttp://asmirvine.com/where both instructors and students can accesschapter objectives, debugging tools, supplemental files, a Getting Started with MASM and Visual Studio 2012 tutorial, and more.
