Download Pikuma - Compilers, Interpreters & Formal Languages Free
Compilers, Interpreters & Formal Languages is a course published by the Academy. This course is designed to be an introduction to compilers for beginners. As we evolve, we will gradually build an interpreter for a very simple scripting language. Compilers have always had a reputation for being a difficult subject, and their historical association with dragons (starting with the Dragon Book) never really helped matters. We will try to provide every explanation with beginners in mind. You can think of it as a “first course” on compilers for developers who have never written an interpreter before. Together, we will build a compiler for a simple programming language called Pinky from scratch. Think of it as a toy programming language with syntax inspired by Lua and ALGOL W. Our main host language will be Python. Python allows us to focus on compiler-specific concepts while being productive. However, I will try to include some useful tips on how to implement the ideas we have just learned using the C programming language.
