MIPS Assembly Language Programming

If you have a little experience with any flavor of assembly, this book will have you up and running with MIPS32 in no time. It's exactly the sort of book that you need if you already know how assembly works and want to learn the MIPS language. It seems a little short, but it covers things quite well and directly.Topics are addressed in a logical manner, and each topic starts off with basics and moves on to more in-depth issues. Also, the chapters have thought-provoking exercises that really help if you're willing to work them out.Good discussion on programming style and de facto standards for function calls, returns, and special purpose registers. In addition, the book has great appendices, including a complete description of the entire instruction set, ascii chart, and a list of pseudo-ops with their asm translations.The book emphasizes the SPIM environment, but I use MARS and have had no problems thus far.

Finding this book on Amazon saved me about $45 compared to getting it from my University. It also arrived within 2 days. After spending the semester in my MIPS class, I think the book is extremely easy to read and beneficial if you need to learn assembly fairly quickly. The appendix has saved me multiple times within class alone because it is very easy to read.

The book was in very good condition and the delivery was very quick.

It's too bad this book is out of print. With as many colleges offering courses in assembly language, and particularly using MIPS, it would seem that there would be enough of a market to reprint this book.Overall, this is an excellent book if you want to learn programming in MIPS assembly.

The body is clean but the cover has some wears.It looks not a perfect brand new book and didn't attach the receipt.

Books was new and well printed I guess.

I hope you never have to program in assembly language. Actually, I hope I never have to do it again, but if I do, you can bet I'll refer to this book. It's a very good tool, and it got me through my computer org class.

This is meant for a college course. A little too high level for someone who knows assembly language already and wants MIPS specifics.
