Assembly Getting Started

Welcome to the getting started guide for Assembly programming.

This guide is intended to help you get all the tools you need to follow along with the tutorials provided.

First off, you will need to get the masm32 10 SDK, available here. Included in this SDK is all the tools you'll need to follow along with our examples.

Please note that the installation and compilation of the masm32 SDK can take quite a while; I highly recommend you shut down all other programs, and find something to read (Or you could leave the browser open, and start with the console "Hello World" program here =P)

If you want, you can also download nmake from Microsoft here (Microsoft Knowledge Base, article 132084), if you'd like to use nmake with our tutorials. NOTE: All tutorials provide MAKEFILE & make.bat files, so getting nmake from Microsoft is not necessary.
