Product Description
Review
"There′s nothing this programmer likes more in a book than a structured, logical layout, and Modern Compiler Design has it by the bucketful. [...] this excellent book covers not just procedural languages, but object–oriented, functional, logic and parallel/distributed languages too. [...] a well–written and thorough book [...] recommended for the compiler novice." – David Johns in Application Development Advisor, Nov/Dec 2000
"...an excellent introduction to the history and inner workings of the compiler." "Thankfully the book has a very readable style..." "...a well written and thorough book that is recommended for the compiler novice."

First class, extremely readable and well written,
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern Compiler Design (Worldwide Series in Computer Science) (Paperback)
Certainly the best-written book on compilers, I have ever read. Many other books cover the same ground (and more), but none explains it nearly so well. Reading this first and then the Dragon Book afterwards, will take you less time than reading the Dragon Book on it's own.

very well written, explains technical subject succinctly,

This review is from: Modern Compiler Design (Worldwide Series in Computer Science) (Paperback)
Very easy to follow with good material on everything I wanted to know. The explanation and discussion are top quality, in many cases I no longer find certain things complex! I found this book to be much more readable/accessible than the dragon book

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good and comprehensive - but not an introduction,
This review is from: Modern Compiler Design (Worldwide Series in Computer Science) (Paperback)
One of the better books on compiler design but not for beginners, who should probably start with the excellent "Modern Compiler Implementation in Java" by David Watt and Deryck Brown. This is a good second text, with a nice balance between introductory and advanced material, including one of the better treatments of type inference that I have seen in a textbook. If you are considering this book, you should also look at the alternatives by Appel and by Aho, Sethi and Ullman, which cover similar ground. To my mind this book is the best of the three, but if you are interested in functional languages, you might prefer the version of Appel's book that uses ML.
