His earlier 32bit book was pretty decent, but super windows focused, I wish a similar work using a reasonable syntax existed for Linux, but the linux equivalent(some kind of foundations of programming or something similar assembly book) used gas syntax which is like nails on a chalkboard. Fasm is also so much nicer these days to use(masm is neglected by microsoft, but is the tool the author has used for everything).

Have you checked out paul carters assembly language book. it is free online. i'm not sure it has stuff for Linux.But you can check. also , it may be , for sixteen or thirty two bit. since I noticed it online long back. sorry voice typing.

Edit: i checked. it is for 32 bit. works on Linux. and uses Nasm.

That's weird, GNU as should default to AT&T syntax. Maybe the author switched to Intel syntax by adding the .intel_syntax directive at the beginning of the code?
