2 comments about Object-Oriented Assembly Language.

1. The printed source code in this book is riddled with typographical errors and there is no disk included with the book. The concepts in the book are presented in an unorganized manner. The final program (ICONEDIT.COM) does not assemble correctly under the Microsoft Assembler, even though the author claims that it does. The overall concept of the book was a good idea but unfortunately the author lacked good organization and presentation skills.

1. There is no source code available for this book - at least that I can find anywhere; the email address given on the back of the book is dead and the publisher's site is out of date - not even listing the book itself.
   So, if you're going to use the book, be prepared for an awful lot of typing ... or pay a visit to Iczelion's Win32ASM site - you'll find plenty to interest you there.



2. I'm like A-List Publishing books, but this book is difficult. Excellent code with bad cemments.



3. The book is remarkable. To judge it using such irrelevant criterion such as "It's difficult" or "No source code available" is like to judge Mozart's opera by saying: "Well, I could not really hear much", or "The buffet was not selling my favorite brand of coffee." Too bad.



4. I was very disappointed with this book. It seemed like a text book that required and Instructor to follow along. The first chapter instructed that you should read a book on processor commands and operation or at least be familiar with them before attempting to read it. (would of been nice to know before purchase)It was a waste of money to me! Couldn't even finish it. Too confusing with no help available when you got stuck! Should of read more reviews before purchasing.

3 comments about Visual C++ Optimization with Assembly Code.

1. The book delivers what the title promises: how to combine Visual C++ with assembler. Each possible combination of calls (C++ -> assembler, assembler -> C++) will be explained in great detail. Examples are kept simple which helps the reader to not loose survey what's the point to be explained in that example.
   You should not expect to get much instructions how to write the fastest assembly code possible. The book gives only a couple of hints in chapter 1 ("The existing loop commands ... slow down the overall performance of the program and are indeed an anachronism to the modern processor models."). It doesn't prevent the author to use that loop command in later examples anyway.
   Sometimes I also missed explanations about assembly commands and MASM directives used in the examples. If you completely want to understand what's going on you have to have additional reference material (Intel, MASM) at hand.
   Conclusion: It's a great book about all aspects of interaction between Visual C++ and assembly language. If you want to know how to get out most of your assembly code you should use a different book (e.g. "Inner Loops" by Rick Booth)



2. Do yourself a favour and read the introduction, or really any part of it, before plonking down your hard-earned money. Thank God I could return it.



3. This book is so bad, I don't know where to start:
   1. Riddled with typos
   2. Keeps using _beginthread (instead of _beginthreadex)
   3. Better information available in online docs.
