The authors present updated coverage of compilers based on research and techniques that have been developed in the field over the past few years. The book provides a thorough introduction to compiler design and covers topics such as context-free grammars, fine state machines, and syntax-directed translation.

I must confess I have not ready the book, but rather bought it as a "hacker trophy" of sorts, due to its presence in the film "Hackers." A silly reason to purchase it? Perhaps. But hey, check out the dragon art! Dragons + Computer = Nerd Win.

Classic book on compilers. It's dated, but has all the fundamentals. As a side note, I've noticed this very book on the bookshelves of just about every computer scientist I've ever talked to (in their office).

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic text in the industry!
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2000

This is *the* text for complier design in the computer industry. Referred to in popular media as the dragon book it has an almost religous following by the great programmers in the industry. This exhaustive text will introduce advance topics to the intermediate programmer and to the experienced alike. Although not an introductory work by any stretch of the imagination it will allow for the intermediate programmer to get a rudimentary grasp of the subject. A great example of the best writing that can be done by some of the great minds of our field.

5.0 out of 5 stars an oldie but goodie
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is the standard text book for designing a compiler, much cheaper than the newer edition and just as useful for the fundamental principles. I find having a hardback version makes both the reading and referring back a more pleasant experience than cheaper paperbacks or (shudder) online/ebook versions.

The product price is ridiculous. Although it was used it is a great product with excellent quality. A basic book about Compilers.
