About the book...

"Learn Multiplatform Assembly Programming... With Chibiakumas" is my series of books... Each book covers a whopping 5 CPU's it's aimed at the absolute beginner.

Volume 1 covers Z80, 6502, 68000, 8086 and ARM CPUs
Volume 2 covers ARM Thumb, 65816, 6809, PDP-11 and Risc-V CPUs
Volume 3 covers MIPS, TMS9900, SuperH, IBM370 and PowerPC CPUs

Each volume is complete in it's own right! For Example: you don't need to have read Volume 1 to read 2 or 3!

Check them all out here: https://amzn.to/3hgETuM

It should be available on your 'local' amazon too - If you live somewhere else Just search for chibiakumas !

Each Volume has an introduction covering the terminology you'll come across, an introduction to each processor, it's registers and addressing modes, and a summary of all the major commands, written in a style intended to be 'down to earth' and more suited to regular readers!

Each book contains 300+ pages and available now from Amazon in hardback or Paperback format.

Note: Vol 3 is priced sightly higher due to printing costs, as it is 50 pages longer than Vol 1+2!
