I purchased volume 1, and I was blown away by how much information on the basics of hardware, registers, memory, and number systems was contained. In this review, I will explain how this book helped me and what I used it for.
I am a hobbyist Assembly programmer who has mostly done Intel/8086 Assembly on Linux and DOS operating systems. However, I have started trying to learn about other types of CPUs and their Assembly languages.
I learn Assembly because I believe learning Assembly can make someone a better programmer in other languages as well. But beyond that, I like learning about all the different machines there are and their differences. Most importantly, which are easier to learn than others? This book series by ChibiAkumas / Keith ‘Akuyou’ mentions the exact information I need so that I can decide which CPU I want to learn next and what tools to start with.
I was very pleased with the Kindle edition of volume 1, and so I purchased paperbacks of volumes 1 and 2. My ONLY disappointment with the Kindle edition specifically was that I cannot read it on the Kindle cloud reader, https://read.amazon.com/, on my PC. Because I use Linux, installing a Kindle app on a PC is not an option. I would advise the author to see if there is a way to make it readable in a web browser, like every other Kindle book in my library is. However, at least I will have the paperback soon for an easier reading experience. Reading on a tiny iPhone screen is hard on the eyes.
