Download Compiler Construction for Digital Computers djvu

I read it 30 years ago when I worked on my bachellor thesis, it was very clear and useful; after reading it I got convinced I could write a compiler.

This was one of the best books I read when I was a student 25 years ago. You really understand how to write compilers after reading it. It is invaluable for those who learn programming. I believe it contributed greatly to turning me into a professional programmer. It's a shame that this book is not available any more...

I used this book in my undergraduate studies (Computer Science) at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. It was very good. The main thing we had against it, back at UNN, was the font used. But once you get used to the fonts the rest becomes easy.

I loved this book and, although very out of date (AED RWord, FORTRAN and so on), I still read bits from time to time. Not a book to buy these days - get one that uses a language that *you* use.

Many years ago I used this book to build a compiler which generated test cases for a complex real-time system. The result was a syntax-oriented, single-pass, context independent, processor with no restricted variables. It all worked as described in the book. I believe the construction concepts are still valid, mutatis mutandis. Simply disregard the language anachronisms.
