Write Great Code, Volume I:
Understanding the Machine

Randy Hyde's new series: Write Great Code teaches you everything you need to know to write efficient, readable, maintainable, and quality code.

The first volume in this four-volume set, Understanding the Machine, teaches 'Machine Organization'. Whenever someone tells you that you should learn assembly language in order to learn how to write better high level code, what they're really telling you is to learn machine organization. By reading this book, you can learn how the low-level machine operates so that you can write better high-level language code, without the drudgery of mastering assembly language.

This book will also make a great companion/prerequisite text to "The Art of Assembly Language"

Now Available!

Write Great Code, Volume II:
Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level

Compiler writers have often claimed that their compilers generate code that is just as good as hand-written assembly language. In practice, compilers rarely achieve this level because of the poor-quality high-level language source code fed to these compilers. Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level will teach you how to help your high-level language compiler live up to its promise. This book explains how compilers generate machine code from high-level language statements, so that you can choose the most appropriate high-level statements to efficiently solve the problem at hand.
