RE: Starting on Assembly under win32

["Kayne Ian (Softlab)" <Ian.Kayne () softlab co uk>]

Hi,

Win32asm isn't really "pure" asm. At risk of flames, win32asm is quite like
win32 C, simply because you're mainly using the api. If you know the
win32api well enough, you won't have many problems. Take a look at
http://win32asm.cjb.net, which IMO are the best tutorials on the net. You'll
need a copy of MASM32
(http://spiff.tripnet.se/~iczelion/files/masm32v7.zip), which handily has
all the incs you're likely to need for win32 coding.

But, if this is your first attempt at Windows coding, I'd strongly suggest
you get a copy of Visual Studio and spend some time coding C/C++ apps.
Knowing the win32api is just as important as knowing the language you're
coding in, when it comes to Windows apps.

Good luck.
