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 the Z80, 6502, 68000, 8086 and early ARM CPUs

Volume 2 covers ARM Thumb, 65816, 6809, PDP-11 and Risc-V CPUs

There's 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 around 300 pages is available now from Amazon either in print as a paperback or digitally on Kindle.
