I finally finished reading The Ida Pro Book by Chris Eagle. I recommend this book to anyone using Ida. I would say the book is for good for beginners, but a decent understanding of programming and reverse code engineering is required. Honestly, I will likely read it again after I get a better understanding of the subject.

This books gives a basic description and application of all of the capabilities of Ida Pro. Just when Chis Eagle gets to information that directly applies to our application, he refers the reader to Andy Whittaker's site. In my opinion this book would be great for someone who already understands disassembly and wants to take full advantage of Ida.

The 8051/8052 Microcontroller - Architecture Assembly Language, and Hardware Interfacing should be on the list. It helps  to know how they move forward before you go in reverse.. Grin

No, it's not at all.
8051 is a lot closer to 80386 IMO from a pure disassembling perspective.

Is Chris Eagle's IDAPro book 2nd edition a lot better than 1st edition 2008?

Hacking the Xbox: An Introduction to Reverse Engineering

Good read so far. I'm about half way through. My only problem is that he goes into HUGE detail on how to open the Xbox (explaining security bits and stuff), but when he gets to the interesting stuff like disassembling the boot ROM, he seems to skim over it really fast.

Doesn't feel like a book to me though (except for the intro, lol), more like an extremely detailed DIY project.

Both good reads. Can be found online for free if you really look. I prefer to just buy them and read at the beach or whatever.
