Write Great Code: Understanding the Machine
A solid foundation in software engineering for programmers.
Today's programmers are often narrowly trained because the industry moves too fast. That's where this new series from Randall Hyde (author of The Art of Assembly Language) comes in. This, the first of three volumes, teaches important concepts of machine organization in a language-independent
fashion, giving programmers what they need to know to write great code in any language, without the usual overhead of learning assembly language to master this topic. The Write Great Code series will help programmers make wiser choices with respect to programming statements and data types when writing software.
