I would also _highly_ recommend Crafting Interpreters: https://craftinginterpreters.com/ https://craftinginterpreters.com/ The book is split into two parts. The first implements a language interpreter in Java, and the second implements the same language by building a compiler to byte-code and also implements a byte-code VM in C. Every line of code in the implementation is referenced in the book.
