Assembly Language Programming for the Acorn Electron

the long version

<p> Every Acorn Electron is equipped with a powerful assembler. Sooner or later you will want to learn how to use it; this book will teach you. </p> <p> The author assumes no prior knowledge of assembly language programming on the part of the reader, who is led from the simple functions of the machine to quite complex implementation. </p> <p> To help the reader, the book contains many exercises for which full solutions are provided, the aim being to provide a complete self-contained instruction package. This is backed up by an accompanying cassette tape which contains all the listings in chapter 1 to 10, together with two additional utility programs (see inside the back of the book for further details). </p> <p> Ian Birnbaum is an experienced teacher and author of the well-received <span id = "book_title">Assembly Language Programming for the BBC Microcomputer</span> (Macmillian, 1982), now going into its second edition. Some reviewers comments on the BBC book: </p> <p> "...a splendidly detailed and careful coverage of how to use the assembler." </p> <p style = "text-align: right;"> - <span id = "mag_title">Muse</span> </p> <p> "...a solid reliable introduction..." "...(the author) succeeds in explaining how and when to use all the 6502 instruction set." </p> <p style = "text-align: right;"> - <span id = "mag_title">Times Educational Supplement</span> </p> <p> "...I believe the author has done a first rate job." "...(He) has exploited and discussed well the art of 6502 programming on the BBC microcomputer." </p> <p style = "text-align: right;"> - <span id = "mag_title">Beebug</span> </p>
