Good Books for learning coding - Phantom_NiNja - Apr 10, 2025

Is there any good books on reverse engineering software? At a asm X86 64 bit level?

Is there any goods books for c, c++ or ASM x86 64 bit that covers windows app creations?

I know people say use the ms windows api documents online for free?

I just want to know if there's any books out that uses the windows api and explains it line by line

what is required using c++ or ASM x86 64 bit code.

I am just curious. I have some old school games where I am thinking to make a project that

can make either mods or cheats for the game but want to do things at the asm level. Just to get comfortable with asm.

I have made my own bootloader and my own OS that works but it's not at a commercial grade level. I will work on it over the years.
To get it at a commercial level where people and use it. I have ideas on my own file system.

Just curious if there's such books that are good that can discuss such a topic? I am aware there's good windows book but I think it uses visual basic instead of c++ but it does go over the api. I was told to use that and I have the book but would rather have a book that goes over c++ code or asm code and explains what each line does and why it's needed and other variations you can potentially do.

Nothing is as good as learncpp in my opinion.


Here's some good books:
