+# ARM V8 Assembly Language Programming Made Not So Scary
+
+This text book provides a fairly thorough examination of the ARM V8 ISA. It begins from the perspective of
+a person knowledgeable in the C or C++ programming languages (or similar languages, of which there are many).
+Early chapters bridge your knowledge of C or C++ backwards into assembly language driving home a very sharp
+point: C is a high level assembly language. Further, assembly language is nothing to be scared about.
+
+## For Whom Is This Book Intended?
+
+As mentioned, if you are already familiar with C or any language descended from C, this book begins with what
+you know. Later chapters dive deeply into the corners and recesses of the ARM V8 ISA and are suitable for
+those wishing to master the rich instruction set of the 64 bit ARM processors.
+
+## Can This Book Be Used In Courses Covering Assembly Language?
+
+Yes, absolutely. In fact, we would argue that the study of assembly language is extremely important to the
+building of competent software engineers. Further, we would argue that teaching the x86 instruction set is
+sadistic and cruel as that ISA was born in the 1970s and has simply gotten more muddled with age. 
+
+The MIPS
+instruction set is another ISA that is often covered in College level courses. While far kinder and gentler
+than the x86 ISA, the MIPS processor isn't nearly as relevant as the ARM family. Phones, tablets, laptops and
+even desktops contain ARM V8 processors making the study of the ARM ISA far more topical.
+
+## Calling Convention Used In This Book
+
+Assembly language programming is quite closely intertwined with both the underlying hardware architecture and
+operating system. A "calling convention" refers to how functions are called and how parameters are passed. In
+this book we will use the ARM LINUX conventions. This means:
+
+* You will need to run a ARM Linux VM on the Macintosh - even on ARM-based Macs. Why? Apple. That's why.
+* You will need to run WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) on ARM-based Windows machines.
+* You will need to run an ARM Linux VM on x86-based Windows machines.
