The book provides a thorough introduction to compiler design and covers topics such as context-free grammars, fine state machines, and syntax-directed translation. There are certain books that everyone (in a relevant technical field) knows. Baby Rudin, CLR, Patterson-Hennessy, Golub and Van Loan, and Kernighan and Ritchie are all fine examples. The Dragon Book is another fine example, despite this odd reputation it has for being too dryly theoretical. We used it when I took compilers, and I've used it as a reference for myself when working on or teaching about compilers and interpreters.

The Dragon Book is another fine example, despite this odd reputation it has for being too dryly theoretical. We used it when I took compilers, and I've used it as a reference for myself when working on or teaching about compilers and interpreters.

When I taught compilers, we used Appel's Modern Compiler Implementation in Java, which I didn't like nearly as well. A classic but now bit dated but the basics in this field haven't changed much. I would speculate not knowing too much yet about certain aspects of modern compiler design research yet that one would have to in order to get a full picture look at recent PLDI and POPL proceedings. I find the text compared to say Sipser for example lacking in clarity in terms of presentation which is why I took off a star. It's a bit too note like and driven by examples as opposed to consisting of well structured ex A classic but now bit dated but the basics in this field haven't changed much.

I find the text compared to say Sipser for example lacking in clarity in terms of presentation which is why I took off a star. It's a bit too note like and driven by examples as opposed to consisting of well structured expository writing in some places. Overall the best there is though at present. This book can be a bit esoteric and hard to understand. There are several other books that go into greater detail that can help fill in the gaps that are left out of this book. I wouldn't read this book by itself to gain enough knowledge to really grasp the subject.

As well, there are many good open source compilers I would recommend anyone download and examine to understand how a compiler works in this modern age.This is a book you keep on your shelf to impress other geeks who may pass. With that being said I would recommend everyone who is serious about the subject get it as it is pretty good despite what I said above. The renowned Dragon-Book.

I'm happy to own the original 1986 edition with the red dragon and the knight on its cover. The cover of the newer edition (2006) is pretty dull.I read this as part of my studies in computer-science way back when. Some people might tell you it's rather theoretical, but I don't think so. It has sparked my interest in compiler construction, formal languages and more. This interest never left me, so you can say this book was kind of a life changing read.Update Dec.21 2014The Goodreads algorithm made a re The renowned Dragon-Book.

Damned boring. The Dragon Book is one of those ones that shows up on everyone's Top d+ CS/Dev Books list, but it's one of the ones that are there because you're supposed to be impressed with the implication that the list-maker got all the way through it, not because it's genuinely great.It has all the information you need to write a functioning compiler for almost any kind of language you'd want to write a compiler for,† it just lays that information out in the dullest, most laborious way poss Damned boring.

The fact that this edition uses Java for much of its code doesn't help, but it actually doesn't hurt nearly as much as you might expect; too bad that's only because it's very light on working code samples.If you somehow make it through the first eight chapters, the last four are more interesting (if more uneven), but not sufficiently so to salvage the whole book.-† Often missing, however, is a defence of non-obvious design decisions as being genuinely good ideas rather than just accidents of history.

Definitely useful to have to flesh out details left out of lecture videos. Not necessary for doing the programming assignments.Mediocre as a textbook. Content is fine, maybe even too many examples, but typesetting makes the text more difficult to read. Sections and terms are referenced before their definitions. Key definitions are italicized rather than bolded and indented making them hard to find. The authors instead chose Follow along textbook for Coursera Stanford Compilers class.

Sections and terms are referenced before their definitions. Key definitions are italicized rather than bolded and indented making them hard to find.

The authors instead chose to bold program keywords such as 'null', 'and', 'or'. This seems backwards.Figures and tables and examples and formulas and sections all use the same name format but have their own numbering, so figure 4.18 sits next to example 4.7 in section 4.3 contains equation 4.15 referencing a term defined in section 4.7. Other figures and tables and formulas are also not numbered period. This is probably a 5 star book but I will admit it was over my head so I probably will appreciate it more as I grow in compiler knowledge. It's very definitive and many scholars point to this book. You need some basic prerequisite math and programming to understand this. I viewed it as a great overview of a subject I knew little about.

I skipped a lot, used youtube when the water was to deep and glossed over a lot of details. This is a good reference to buy and keep on your shelf.

This is a good reference to buy and keep on your shelf. Its to heavy to digest in casual reading or study, this is easily a 4 year read.

I'm marking it as read, but please don't quiz me to deeply about it, my head hurts! By the way I think this is known in the compiler industry as the dragon book.
