Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
These "Advanced x86" chapters all cover specialized topics that might not be of interest to the average assembly programmer. However, these chapters should be of some interest to people who would like to work on low-level programming tasks, such as boot loaders, device drivers, and Operating System kernels. A programmer does not need to read the following chapters to say they "know assembly", although they may be interesting. The topics covered in this section are:
High-Level Languages
Machine Language Conversion
Protected Mode
Global Descriptor Table
Advanced Interrupts
Bootloaders
