Is the author of T3X reputable? I am about to drop $20 for the ebook, but I just want to be sure he has good basis on the subject.

- sigjuice 9y agoThe author is unknown to me (and I am nobody!). FWIW, I just bought the book and quickly read through the chapter on bootstrapping. IMHO, it is really well written.
- b1gtuna 9y agoTy for your input. Getting a copy :)
- nils-m-holm 9y agoIt is, of course, a bit of an oxymoron to answer this question myself but, FWIW, I have been writing compilers since the 1990's, both as a hobby and as a job. I have written compilers for lots of different processors and virtual machines with varying key aspects, like compilation speed, memory footprint, executable size, etc. Check out my home page (http://t3x.org http://t3x.org), there compilers for many different languages, from mainstream to pretty exotic. There are also excerpts from many of my books and even the full texts of some of the older ones.
- register 9y agoWhat about your other book "Lightweight Compiler Techniques? Could you put an excerpt online?
- nils-m-holm 9y agoOh, yes, the homepage needs some reorganization! For now, you can download the full text of "Lightweight Compiler Techniques" here: http://www.bcl.hamilton.ie/~nmh/t3x.org/zzz/lightweight-compiler-techniques.zip http://www.bcl.hamilton.ie/~nmh/t3x.org/zzz/lightweight-comp... Enjoy!
