Broad in scope, involving theory, the application of that theory, and programming technology, compiler construction is a moving target, with constant advances in compiler technology taking place. Today, a renewed focus on do-it-yourself programming makes a quality textbook on compilers-that both students and instructors will enjoy using-of even more vital importance. This book covers every topic essential to learning compilers from the ground up and is accompanied by a powerful and flexible software package for evaluating projects, as well as several tutorials, well-defined projects, and test cases.
Anthony J. Dos Reis is Associate Professor of Computer Science at the State University of New York at New Paltz. Before becoming a professor, Dr. Dos Reis worked at IBM as a systems programmer, creating IBM operating systems and compilers. His teaching interests include computer engineering, program translation, Java, and formal languages.
