I didn't get on with SICP the first few times, but loved Tannenbaum's works and eventually the Dragon Book.
Everyone's path through these esoteric texts looks different, but all these books are magic.
- musicale 4y agoI wouldn't recommend the Dragon Book to anyone who wants to learn how to write compilers, especially for the first time. I'm not entirely sure I can recommend Wirth's Compiler Construction, but I definitely like his simple approach.
- sirsinsalot 4y agoIt was around 2001 and I was 16 or so. Still a classic though
- MattPalmer1086 4y agoI guess everyone is different. I loved the Dragon Book, and I bought quite a few books on the subject. It was the one that helped the most for me. But I had been programming, self taught, for years at that point.
- agumonkey 4y agoI somehow don't like the simple approach, I feel like learning a quick trick but my brain cannot encompass the whole idea. The Dragon Book (at least the 40% I've read) inspired me more.
