by Ronald Mak

Long-awaited revision to a unique guide that covers both compilers and interpreters Revised, updated, and now focusing on Java instead of C++, this long-awaited, latest edition of this popular book teaches programmers and software engineering students how to write compilers and interpreters using Java. You?ll write compilers and interpreters as case studies, generating general assembly code for a Java Virtual Machine that takes advantage of the Java Collections Framework to shorten and simplify the code. In addition, coverage includes Java Collections Framework, UML modeling, object-oriented programming with design patterns, working with XML intermediate code, and more.

[Amr Hesham · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good book to practice multi topics in the same project compiler, oop principles, design pattern, and teach you how debugger and IDE created, But the problem is in some chapters the code is not complete and I recommend to start with Crafting Interpreter or Modern Compiler Implementation

[William Cruise · Rating 4 out of 5]

This would be a 5 star review, but the code examples get harder and harder to follow in later chapters, since the code listings are not complete in the text. Still, it gives excellent instruction on how to write a lexer, parser, interpreter, and compiler in Java.

A practical, but dated, book on getting started with compiler construction.

[Ibrahim Magdy · Rating 3 out of 5]

No room for innovation but a good design pattern
