I'd recommend The "" Waite's Group : Turbo C++ Bible "" for " C " by author : Naba Barkakati. And for assembly, The Art of Assembly, which should turn up in a simple google search............and another excellent reference is " Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers " by author " Kip R. Irvine " . These should be all that you need for an outstanding introduction as well as detailed study of C and assembly on the x86 platform.
