Computer Science

•  The book shows clearly how a simple compiler can be decomposed into a syntactic analyzer, a contextual analyzer, and a code generator, communicating via an abstract syntax tree.
•  The book is accompanied by a complete working compiler and interpreter, provided via the Internet, and free of charge for educational use.
•  The book contains numerous exercises, together with sample answers to selected exercises. It also contains a number of suggested projects, involving extensions to the accompanying compiler.
•  All examples in the book are expressed in Java, and the compiler and interpreter are structured using object-oriented design patterns.

Compiler Construction  (Computer Science)

DAVID WATT teaches algorithms and data structures, programming language, and software design. DERYCK BROWN teaches compilers, object-oriented programming, operating systems, and software engineering.

Programming Language Processors in Java

Compilers and Interpreters





This book provides a gently paced introduction to techniques for implementing programming languages by means of compilers and interpreters, using the object-oriented programming language Java. The book aims to exemplify good software engineering principles at the same time as explaining the specific techniques needed to build compilers and interpreters.
