Programming from the Ground Up Book

If you like the book, you also might enjoy my old article series on IBM:<p><a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/search/searchResults.jsp?searchType=1&#38;searchSite=dW&#38;searchScope=dW&#38;query=jonathan+Bartlett&#38;Search=Search" rel="nofollow">http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/search/searchResults.jsp?s...</a><p>Covers various things including PPC assembly language, PS3 assembly language, using high-level programming techniques in low-level languages, and other fun stuff.

I really love this book, wish more books were like this. I can also recommend: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Computing-Systems-Building-Principles/dp/026214087X" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Computing-Systems-Building-Pr...</a>

I first learnt how system calls transition from user space to kernel space when I read this book. Till then I had not understood the mechanism, though I knew what software interrupt is.

Help! I can't find the book itself...

thanks! this looks great. two birds one stone.

Very nice, but it would be cooler if the title was<p>"Ground Up Programming Book" ;)
