Online Compiler Courses?

I’m on mobile, but three recommendations for books/resources are:

1. Crafting interpreters. There’s plenty of hn discussion on it and it was recently completed.

2. Writing a compiler in go. There’s also a book on interpreters that goes along handily with it from Thorsten ball as well.

3. Build your own lisp

There’s also plenty of traditional textbooks such as the dragon book. I don’t have any lectures or videos on hand, but I’m sure teach yourself CS has a recommended course on it.

Here's a great YouTube series where a developer codes, step-by-step, a pretty fully-fledged programming language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgHIkdUQbp0&list=PLRAdsfhKI4...

Not too much theory but from a nuts and bolts perspective I found it extremely approachable.

For a great introduction tutorial, check out "Let's build a compiler". It's an excellent and simple introduction to compiling and emitting code.

You can also check out my implementation in C at https://github.com/rmccullagh/letsbuildacompiler

Here is the garbage collector course from the FB engineer. http://dmitrysoshnikov.com/courses/essentials-of-garbage-col...

Garbage collector is a part of compiler technology.

Just a book, not a full course: http://t3x.org/t3x/book.html

Or dig around a bit on http://t3x.org in general!

The curriculum from Open Source Society University at https://github.com/ossu/computer-science lists those:

- https://www.edx.org/course/compilers

- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDcmCgguL9rxPoVn2ykUF...

There is a GitHub project I've used as reference a couple of times, written in JS.

Although not exactly an online course, my compilers professor released his book for free online. It walks you through all the steps of building a compiler and is an invaluable resource for me. You can find it at www.compilerbook.org

Update: feel free to continue adding recommendations but I started reading Crafting Interpreters and it seems like the perfect difficulty/depth balance, so I'll probably stick with that.

As for video courses, I have Alex Aiken's compilers course on my list. It seems a bit more advanced, and I'm still on introductory material, so I haven't started with it yet.

Not already mentioned include the llvm tutorials, graalvm tutorials for building a truffle language and david beazely runs a paid, expensive course that seems pretty good!

The final chapter of SICP builds a simple compiler.
