Book Reviews of Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools (2nd Edition)

Book Review: Decent but...
Summary: 3 Stars

This book is famous, and when I told people 20 years my senior that I was in compilers and I was using the dragon book, they knew the book. There are probably some changes between editions between now and then, but the fundamentals of compiler design has changed little.

And when it comes to be basics, reading this book can be more like slogging. The information is there, but it isn't quiet clear. Some topics have examples that do most of the explaining, while other topics lack a nice example that would explain it.

Summary of Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools (2nd Edition)

This book provides the foundation for understanding the theory and pracitce of compilers. Revised and updated, it reflects the current state of compilation. Every chapter has been completely revised to reflect developments in software engineering, programming languages, and computer architecture that have occurred since 1986, when the last edition published.  The authors, recognizing that few readers will ever go on to construct a compiler, retain their focus on the broader set of problems faced in software design and software development. Computer scientists, developers, and aspiring students that want to learn how to build, maintain, and execute a compiler for a major programming language.
