Post by thread:[SX] Reading list for Assembly

While it is a wonderfully create process to DIY, I am beginning to wonder if I should have a better library. I have seen a text called, The Art of Programming and wonder if it is at all as good The Art of Electronics. Also, I wonder if there is a classic algorythm 'bible' that provides you will options and explanations in a practical sense. While Parallax works very hard to publish supporting material, I am sure there are titles with broader overview that come to mind and should be mentioned.

I seemed to have skipped the Midi interface because it never occured to me that it would apply to serial port programing. It is not just the serial ports, FIFO or FILO. My problem is that I always am trying to get an overview, some kind of a big picture so that I don't have to jump from discoverying details as I hit road blocks. I even got one of Myke Predko's books for another microprocessor . From it I am find out things I just don't know - like what really is an IDE and what is really the difference between an assembler and a compiler. I sense that I am spending time reinventing. I presume that may of you know all this, but I have had a very winding career track.

If so, that is a book that deals primarily with assembly language; looking at the table of contents, I did not get the feel that it could be used for a better understanding of SX programming. I believe the set of books is for people that are into the PC side of things.
