Compiler Development

This is a collection of resources on compiler construction, programming language design, and related topics.

Compiler Resources

Engineering a Compiler Great for compiler back-ends and optimization.
Crafting Interpreters Beginner-friendly and highly practical. Recommended even for compiler devs.
LLVM's Kaleidoscope Tutorial An intro to building a language using LLVM.
Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools (The Dragon Book) Classic, parser-heavy, and theoretical.
Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation More implementation-focused than Dragon Book, excellent for advanced optimizations techniques and compiler constructions.
SSA-based Compiler Design Introduces Static Single Assignment form and modern intermediate representations.
Linkers and Loaders An essential for understanding the complete toolchain beyond compilation.
Modern Compiler Implementation in Java/ML/C Good progression from compiler frontend to backend.
Parsing Techniques Huge survey of parsing algorithms and techniques beyond what is covered in Dragon Book.

Essentials of Programming Languages Elegant presentation of both interpretation and semantics.

Essentials of Computer Architecture (PDF) Useful context for low-level compiler work.
