1. This book is slightly esoteric and dry, but for your intro classes covering the MIPS processor, this book is much better than Waldron. Pervin does handle the stack pointer a little differently than most, but everything else follows most conventions. I recommend this book even though Pervin uses the Mipster assembler for a few too many examples while SPIM is much better (and free too).



2. The book is alright. It comes with a lot of examples. Usually the examples are relatively easy to follow, sometimes they require going over them several times carefully before it's clear what they are doing. The book was written for the CS and the EE Intro to Digital Systems classes here. These classes only have Computer Science I (Intro to Java) as a prereq, and sometimes Pervin doesn't quite keep that in mind and uses some algorithm in his book that most students are not familiar with. Finally the book also lacks a good index, and personally I think that a good index is very important for programming books. E.g., forgot how .space works? Have fun leaving through the entire book.



3. This was a textbook of mine for an intro digital design class. The book is cheap and worth the price.
   
   All this book covers is an assembly language that no one uses. That is perfectly fine, because the purpose is to teach the basics of the processor and how assembly language interacts with it. The material is not available any where else that I am aware of, so if you are taking a class that requires this book, buy the book. It is worth the $15 so you have a guide with all the instructions available to you and how they can be used.

1. GaAs and InGaAs compounds are already widely used in many commercial applications that take advantage of the ability to make solid state lasers and light emitting diodes out of them. But if it is possible to make these smaller and cheaper, then the economics may enable even more applications.

   Hence the practical emphasis of this book. Though, of course, it is meant for the researcher.

   The self assembling property offers a glittering [pun] chance to make cheaper devices. Hopefully, this might eliminate a few lithographic steps and hence help push up device yield. Plus, of course, the small size of the dots leads to novel quantum effects. For example, if the current thresholds could be lowered due to this, it might reduce power consumption, which is no bad thing.

   While the book is presented mostly at the research level, you should expect, since the authors are from a company, Fujitsu, with large interests in this topic, that not all the experimental steps might be fully described. The science is. But, for proprietary reasons, experimental steps which cannot be patented might be not disclosed, and held as trade secrets. Which actually is not too different from papers written by university researchers, anyway.

1. Don't bother with this book. I'm a student taking a class in assembly language, and it's almost hard to believe an author would gloss over so many things and give problems at the end of chapters and chapter segments which he gives no clue whatsoever in the text as to how to solve them. If I were the author, I'd be almost embarassed at some of the laxity in this book's organization. I suppose it might have a few good points, but you'd be better off looking elsewhere.



2. About the only use I've found for this book is for kindling on those chilly winter nights. Even my assembly professor agrees that you should not waste your money with this one. The exercises are a joke, it's information on flag changes is completely wrong, and there isn't even a decent reference for the most basic of instructions. Go with Irvine, a much better investment.



3. i'm a doctor in princess sumaya university ,and i'm teching assembly language



4. This is a good book to learn assembly language. The author spends a lot of time on the fundamentals. The author fully explains the effects on the Flag registers after an instruction is executed, and also fully explains the HEX numbering system. The author also does a good job of explaining how interupts work as well as how to use them. This is the only book I have ever fully studied on assembly language and to this day, all the way from writing simple "Hello World" programs to understanding viruses, I have never lacked the knowledge I needed.
