Randall Hyde
Randall Hyde (born 1956)[1] is best known as the author of The Art of Assembly Language, a popular[2] book on assembly language programming. He created the Lisa assembler in the late 1970s and developed the High Level Assembly (HLA) language.
Randall Hyde was educated and later became a lecturer at the University of California, Riverside.[1] He earned a bachelor's degree in Computer Science in 1982, and a Master's degree in Computer Science in 1987 - both from UC Riverside.[1] His area of specialization is compilers and other system software, and he has written compilers, assemblers,[3][4] operating systems and control software. He was a lecturer at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona from 1988–93 and a lecturer at UC Riverside from 1989-2000.[1] While teaching at UC Riverside and Cal Poly, Pomona, Randy frequently taught classes pertaining to assembly programming (beginning and advanced), software design, compilers, and programming language theory.
He was founder and president of Lazer Microsystems, which wrote SmartBASIC,[5] ADAM calc[6] for the Coleco ADAM. According to Rich Drushel, the company also wrote the ADAM part of CP/M 2.2.[7]
Hyde is frequently seen on the alt.lang.asm newsgroup.[8]
