Summary: Great details with examples
Review: 'Vax Assembly Language' is the textbook for my Assembly Language class at the University of New Orleans. It is quite useful, following up each explanation of a concept with a detailed example. The chapters are well organized. Each builds on previously referenced basics which lead to more advanced topics. The excercises throughout the chapters as well as at the end are relevant to the rest of the chapter.

Summary: Excellent VAX Assembly Language Textbook!
Review: Anyone teaching VAX Assembly Language should take a good hard look at this excellent textbook!
Sara Baase does a superlative job of laying groundwork and then building upon it. The questions at the ends of the chapters are practical and pertinent--and any teacher knows that is unusual!
INPUT/OUTPUT library routines are provided which may be easily typed in and incorporated into a student's first programs.
The book very effectively runs the course from fundamental to advanced concepts and techniques.If not for a very few typos in the answers at the end of this book, VAX Assembly Language by Sara Baase would rate a 10!

Summary: Great details with examples
Review: Dr Baase is my teacher & CS advisor in SDSU, so of course I will recommend this book for others. But besides that, the book is very well organized and full of examples. I need that because it's more practical for me to seee codes with explanations at the same time.

Summary: Sara Baase's VAX assembler - looking back.
Review: I bought this book in the early eighties when our company moved platform to VMS ; I myself had little exposure to assembler, and I reckoned we'd have to 'get our hands dirty' to write conversions from the discarded platform. As it turned out , this book was a revelation to us. The content was exactly what I needed and the practical examples were of immediate use to us ; also, the clarity of the book made it an easy and enjoyable read. I'm thankful to Ms. Baase for having written this book - any chance of something similar for the Alpha assembler?
