Programming in assembly on the x 86-64 platform

In this book, we are talking about the operation of the processor in its two main modes: protected mode and 64-bit, which is also called Long Mode ("long mode") Also, in addition to presenting the principles and mechanisms for the work of the processor in the protected and 64-bit modes, it will be about programming on an assembler in Windows Operating Systems, both in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. It is considered not only the development of ordinary applications for Windows operating systems, but also the development of drivers on the assembler. When writing a book paid great attention to the practical component, i.e. The presentation of the material is only in the case and only what you need to know any system and low-level programmer. The last section of the book is devoted to the principles of operation of multiprocessor systems, as well as working with an extended programmable interrupt controller (APIC).
On the disk attached to the book, there are complete source codes of examples for the book, as well as additional programs and materials.

The publication is intended for systemic and low-level programmers, as well as for students and teachers of technical specialties of higher and secondary special educational institutions
