I liked this book for TASM. However, it's pretty much outdated now

My first programming book was about GW-BASIC, it was red and very thick. But it was the second book that I bought that was the book that made me want to become a programmer:

Mastering Turbo Assembler by Tom Swan

My copy actually looks very similar to the one on Amazon. :)

The cover looks familiar. Maybe I have bought this book too back then but never got around to read. However I did read the Borland C book by him: http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Swans-Mastering-Borland-Swan/dp/06...
