Bare metal Amiga programming
In a german forum I was made aware of this book "Bare-Metal Amiga Programming: For OCS, ECS and AGA" which can be found here: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09GJQ3SF6/
I thought you might find it interesting to know, because it seems to cover all relevant topics for programming the Amiga without OS. AFAIK the book is in English. |

I have the author's Classic AmigaOS Programming book, and it was pretty decent. While I'm not really interested in doing bare-metal dev, I might just pick this up anyway.

I own this book and I'm really impressed with it. It's really detailed and well written and I would 100% recommend it for anyone interested in Amiga hardware programming.
I can confirm that it is written in English and is available on UK Amazon. |

Now that I received it, I'm not as impressed as I hoped. It's a good overview with lots of tables, but some parts are really just mentioned in passing (like the keyboard), without codeexamples.
Other parts have quite good example coverage (like the copper). |

After a quick look, it seems good in terms of explanations... but it doesn't seem to offer any new information. However, the examples seem really good and might make it worth the price. The original hardware manuals (for example on the blitter) aren't nearly as good. But I haven't looked at it in detail yet.

This book is outstanding for beginners and really well written ! Just got it along with the other book of he same autor (system programming) and there is also a general introduction to 68k ASM so it's useful to have both of them.

Grabbed my copy last week. I was stuck on a project with interrupt calls and music play-routines, after reading twice the related chapter from the book I figured out my problem!
Also, knowning an Amiga tech book got published these days gives hopes to the world ^_^ |

Yup, also the author is friendly and does reply if you have issues. He fixed a minor bug I reported in the init code of the examples. (Source code downloadable from his site)
