Learn to Program with Assembly

Many programmers have limited effectiveness because they don't have a deep understanding of how their computer actually works under the hood.  In Learn to Program with Assembly, you will learn to program in assembly language - the language of the computer itself.  Assembly language is often thought of as a difficult and arcane subject.  However, author Jonathan Bartlett presents the material in a way that works just as well for first-time programmers as for long-time professionals.  Whether this is your first programming book ever or you are a professional wanting to deepen your understanding of the computer you are working with, this book is for you.  The book teaches 64-bit x86 assembly language running on the Linux operating system.  However, even if you are not running Linux, a provided Docker image will allow you to use a Mac or Windows computer as well. The book starts with extremely simple programs to help you get your grounding, going steadily deeper with each chapter.  At the
