Clements has a gift for conveying highly complex, technical information in an exceptionally clear and readable manner. Clements writing style is very student oriented, and stresses the basics of 68000 ASL while also covering the latest information on ASL later generation chips.

Covering routines for the most popular machines - ATT computer, the Atari 68000, the Commodore Amiga and the Macintosh - this book takes readers through all aspects of assembly language programming in a step-by-step fashion. It provides a complete, graduated approach to the entire line of 68000's, giving examples and exercises for each step so that readers can acquire all of the necessary skills. Topics include the 68000 programmer's model, explanations of number systems, subroutines and advanced assembler concepts, such as external references, linking, debugging and macros.

This book is about two separate but related topics: assembly language programming and computer architecture. This is based on the notion that it is not possible to study computer architecture in any depth without some knowledge of assembly language programming and similarly, one of the reasons for studying assembly language programming is to gain an insight into how computers work - which naturally leads to their architecture. Introducing Assembly Language Programming and Computer Architecture is ideal for first year computer science or engineering students taking degree and diploma level courses. It will also be a useful reference for computer enthusiasts wishing to advance their knowledge and programming skills.

Using an integrated applications format, this book provides novice computer users a solid and complete foundation in both language programming and interfacing techniques. KEY TOPICS: The book explains each new idea and concept with a set of step-by-step instructions for its application in real life situations. Coverage is aimed at readers with no previous computer or digital experience.

A vast increase in running speed can be obtained when using programs written in assembly language, which in essence entails direct programming of the computer without using a high level built-in language such as BASIC. However, this can only be undertaken by someone who has a reasonable understanding of the microprocessor and some of the other hardware used in the computer, but it is not as difficult as one might think and this book tells the story

* Emphasis is on timing diagrams and analysis of microprocessor read/write cycles so students get a clear understanding of the timing requirements of a microprocessor..* In-depth presentation of both microprocessor architecture and microprocessor organization gives students the most complete of 68000 microprocessor hardware..* Thorough introduction to 68000 assembly language programming (four chapters on this topic)..
