Excellent recommendation, but why the 2nd edition? The home page[0] defaults to the latest one which is based on x64 from the get go.

Came here to recommend the same. You can find the 15-213 course videos online. I have done the course and can’t recommend it enough. Do the labs, sincerely. You’ll learn a lot!

First result in DDG for the book title ;-) But the third edition is the one I like. Thank you.

Working through this now (again) and its excellent. A few observations- do the labs (google them) they are even better. The lectures are also available on youtube and the recitations on something I found called panopto- they are mostly repetition from the book but nice to reinforce.

Thanks for the recommendation. I hadn't come across this one before. But wow, I forgot how expensive text books can be.

I picked up the international edition on Amazon a while back for $20 or so, significantly less than what they’re asking for now. I don’t see that one on amazon today, but I’ve seen that edition on other sites. I’d look for it.

I haven’t finished the 3rd edition, but I made it about 3/4 of the way through the 2nd edition and loved it. I picked up the 3rd specifically for the x64 material.

If by the international edition you mean global edition, then you need to know that it has problems. See [1] and [2].
