The 80x86 Assembly Language Programming Page, is the only great source of
information on the WEB that has lots of Assembly Language information that every
Assembly programmer has been looking for. Ever looked up "Assembly Language" on
any search engine? Well, I have, and you know what, you can't find a thing. Well,
there might me some things, line "The Art Of Assembly Language Programming" book
that you can get for FREE in .pdf form, anything else is useless. I used to be
into Game Programming, but for the lack of Assembly Game Progamming info
like the VGA and Pixel stuff, is impossible to find these days, for some reason
most of today's programmers have moved onto a better programming language known
as C/C++? Hell no! C nor C++ can not compete with Assembly language. I have read
that applications such as Data Bases are better when written in C/C++, but, can
you even write a decent TSR with C/C++ that's less than 4K? Nope! I don't even
know if TSRs are possible with C/C++.

Okay, I've seen many great C/C++ demos and games out there, but once again, how
fast are they without the Assembly instructions, such as accessing Mode13h, plot-
ting pixels, doing the pallete or a procedure for vertical retrace, well, these
things are very much possible and are doable, but, with Assembly language, these
things are much faster (if you know how to present the code). Using Assembly
language lets you program with the hardware's point of view, that is, you can do
anything you want with your hardware by using the Assembly language. From my
point of view Assembly language is the BEST, so don't try to tell me that it's
not, because I've been there before with C programming language, but I can't blame
it, because without it I don't think that I would have been programming with
Assembly, C got me started on the basics, such as loops, variables, expressions,
etc., I would suggest everyone who is been wanting to learn Assembly to be aware
of some previous language before starting Assembly.
