Clive Gifford already has at least 20 books in print and Scott Vincent,  also an author, has had several machine-code games published, as well as being
an experienced programmer. Together, their knowledge and expertise have produced this well thought-out book. Considering the subject matter, the authors have managed to keep the complicated terms and jargon to a minimum. The text is remarkably clear and precise; indeed those readers who have come into contact with the subject before may find the style too simplistic. Novices will wonder why they ever thought machine code too difficult to master. This is the perfect sort of book for those who intend to get the best from machine code. Much of the work has already been done by the authors. Although the book is designed to be read in logical order, the style of presentation is such that the reader can flick through to any bits which attract his attention. Once he has understood the basic instructions given in the first few tutorial-style chapters, he should feel at ease to do this. If he comes across anything unfamiliar, he can always look back or refer to the dictionary of machine-code terms. The main part of the book is taken up by fourteen pre-packaged routines ready and waiting for readers to try out. All the work has already been done; complete novices could use these routines without even reading the relevant section or knowing what they mean. The whole book is just as friendly and easy to use. The authors have a personal style which is attractive and stimulating to read. ACU #8911 | ★ AMSTRAD CPC ★ A voir aussi sur CPCrulez , les sujets suivants pourront vous intéresser... |

Page créée en 119 millisecondes et consultée 1756 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
