Rarely do you see From Smalltalk to Ruby, Plain Old C for the C++
Brainwashed, Your First Device Driver, or Understanding the
Model-Viewer-Controller Model. Try finding an introduction to
assembly that assumes you haven't already done it before. It's easy
to find architecture-specific references, but the general theory stuff
is just gone. Either you lived through it, you went to school for it,
or you're on your own. I'd like to see guides for the not-yet-lost.
I found
Computer Organization and Design. The Hardware/Software Interface. by
David A. Patterson, John L. Hennessy
combined with a (M)MIX intro by some German guys (don't have it on my
office shelf) a viable approach for the assembly part. I agree on the rest
though.
