Second Edition Assembly Book Ready

I have completed my update to "Introduction to 64 Bit Intel Assembly Language Programming for Linux".  It will be visible on Amazon and Barnes and Noble within a week - probably by July 4.  It is available right now from Create Space at https://www.createspace.com/3917966 for the same price as the first edition: $29.95.

The second edition is 308 pages while the first edition as 253 pages.  There is very little additional assembly language content, though there are some expanded discussions and a few more examples.  The chapters have the same titles.  The primary change is the introduction of the ebe IDE for assembly language programming.

The cover art is nearly the same.  The OpenGL program producing the intertwined cycle (it is indeed 1 cycle) is more colorful, though I toned it down somewhat from my original tubular.cpp code.

I have started revising my web pages at http://www.rayseyfarth.com to include more graphics.  I intend to include a fairly extensive tutorial on ebe at http://www.rayseyfarth.com/ebe.  I will also have PDF slides, source code and corrections for the book available at http://www.rayseyfarth.com/asm.  I have left the original assembly language web site accessible from a link near the bottom of my main web site.

A new feature I have planned for the next few months is to prepare some assembly language tutorials which will be accessible from http://www.rayseyfarth.com/asm. I plan to host these on youtube, but I haven't started yet...  Real soon now...
