Course objectives
This course presents principles, methods, and techniques used in design and implementation of compilers programming languages and the related systems based on analysis of an input text and synthesis of the corresponding output. The principles and techniques of compiler writing are so pervasive that the ideas presented will be used many times in the career of a computer scientist and/or practitioner.
