I have a course this semester on Compilers. Eventhough I have text book about this, I guess this would not help me to understand fully.

I have searched google for this but didn't find any online resources for compilers. Can anyone tell me the resources where I can find many examples with in-depth explanations.

Unfortunately it was never completed, but I found Let's Build A Compiler to be a resource that really helped take a lot of the mystery out of what goes on under the hood of a compiler. It keeps things really simple, perhaps a bit on the simplistic side at times, but the principles you learn from it can be applied in more complicated systems, once you've got them figured out.

  1. Best List of Resources
  2. Learning Resources on Parsers, Interpreters, and Compilers
  3. Are there some online resources about compiler principle?

Why? What's good about these links? What's your experience with them? Providing links is helpful, but not as useful as providing your experience and insight. Please expand your answer. – Walter Apr 8 '11 at 16:54

my experience was with Let's Build A compiler but Mason already seemed to have said it. But the list in those resources have provided much more insight to the topic.When i can I try to focus on the actual content and leave bullshit out. because there are things much better said than what i could have said or probably can say. – Aditya P Apr 8 '11 at 17:45
+1 for the links :) – Ant's Apr 9 '11 at 3:36
