Re: Assembler/C References

[Ali Saifullah Khan <whipaz () attitudex com>]

I'd recommend The "" Waite's Group : Turbo C++ Bible "" for " C " by author : Naba Barkakati.

And for assembly, The Art of Assembly, which should turn up in a simple google search............and another excellent 
reference is " Assembly Language  for Intel-Based Computers " by author  " Kip R. Irvine " .

These should be all that you need for an outstanding introduction as well as detailed study of C and assembly on the 
x86 platform.
