| Although many microcomputers are programmed in the BASIC language, assembly
language programming will continue to be used for many years to come due
to the inherent limitations of most BASIC interpreters. In fact, assembly
language programs can probably solve more problems than BASIC programs
can! For this reason, this second volume has been added to the 8080/8085
Software Design series. Book 1 of this series is an excellent introduction
for assembly language programming and provides a good reference for the
basic 8080 instruction set. Subjects covered in this volume include asynchronous
serial communications, interrupts and their applications, data structures,
searching, sorting, look-up tables, command decoders, system monitors,
breakpoints, and debuggers. In addition, there are over 90 executable program
examples presented in the book that can be run on just about any 8080-based
microcomputer |
