Comments on: Why Take a Compiler Course? http://blog.regehr.org/archives/169 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:34:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Shuying http://blog.regehr.org/archives/169/comment-page-1#comment-734 Shuying Fri, 16 Jul 2010 20:07:08 +0000 http://blog.regehr.org/?p=169#comment-734 I haven't taken the compiler course seriously, because I have never found any course more boring than this in the entire computer science. Later I tried to understand some compiler reference because I encountered some interesting papers but intensively related to compiler. It turned out that it is as boring as it is always, and those reference are just like what you described: ESOTERIC! Can't people shorten the length to explain things directly and clearly? Your post is re-motivating me to make up the compiler, and also I am wondering: do you have any reference book or materials or links to share on compiler?
