Comment on x86 assembly doesn’t have to be scary (2018)parent

Comments

This is the book I learned from in the 90s: https://www.amazon.com/Developing-32-Bit-Operating-System-Cd...

It's basically "Writing an Operating System from Scratch for Dummies".

I actually wrote my own graphical x86 OS starting from the code in there.

Thank you so much for the recommendation. Been looking for something like this for a while.

Do you think it's a waste of my time to be learning this in 2021?

I definitely don't think it is a waste of time. I found it really fascinating to find out how a PC boots up from zero and how a very basic kernel is coded.
