Reviews / Votes
"I found this book easy to read, with relevant examples and a good set of references. For me, its most interesting feature is the strategy used to support a particular audience: people who need to process text but will not write production compilers. The material itself has been standard for 30 years." (Computing Reviews, August, 2017)"The book is an excellent resource for anyone who is looking for an introduction to the basic structure and concepts of a compiler. Better-suited works are available for an in-depth analysis." (Jonas Devlieghere, Computing Reviews , February, 16, 2018)
