Title: Found this cool referance for PPC programming

I found this cool reference for PPC Programming:

A developer's guide to the PowerPC architecture
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-powarch/?ca=dgr-lnxw07PPCprogramming

Since I'm not actually a coder myself I cannot actually asses it's real value, but it does seem to cover a lot of useful ground (I can almost understand some of it)

I hope you coders find it useful and it helps push out the next wave of "Killer Apps"

Regards
Darren

The people who should take most notice of processor specific developer documents are compiler / library implementors, since most apps are more likely to be written in higher level languages like C/C++ than asm. A good PPC codegenerator should be amongst the first killer apps IMHO :-D
