If you've asked someone the secret to writing efficient, well-written software, the answer that you've probably gotten is "learn assembly language programming." By learning assembly language programming, you learn how the machine really operates and that knowledge will help you write better high-level language code.
A dirty little secret assembly language programmers rarely admit to, however, is that what you really need to learn is machine organization, not assembly language programming. "Write Great Code Vol I," (No Starch Press) the first in a series from assembly language expert Randall Hyde, dives right into machine organization without the extra overhead of learning assembly language programming at the same time. And since this book concentrates on the machine organization, you'll learn in greater depth those subjects that are language-independent and of concern to a high level language programmer. "Write Great Code Vol I" will help you make wiser choices with respect to programming statements and data types when writing software, no matter which language you use.
