Description
Immersing students in Java and the JVM, this text enables a deep understanding of the Java programming language and its implementation. It focuses on design, organization, and testing, helping students learn good software engineering skills and become better programmers. By working with and extending a real, functional compiler, students develop a hands-on appreciation of how compilers work, how to write compilers, and how the Java language behaves. Fully documented Java code for the compiler is accessible on a supplementary website.
Reviews / Votes
"... a strong contribution to the ... covers most standard compiler construction techniques well, and does a good job of exposing students to actual implementation environments. ... Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.-C. Vickery, Queens College of CUNY in CHOICE Magazine
"... an excellent book to use for individual study or in an upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate course. No previous background in the theory of computation is needed, but a solid Java background is essential and some previous experience with programming languages (scope, stack allocation, types, and so on) would be useful. Knowledge of assembly language programming will be helpful if the course will include the chapters on register allocation and translating to MIPS."
