Reviews

[Nick Black · Rating 1 out of 5]

As no compiler written in Java would be worth using, I'm rather mystified as to the purpose of this book. Perhaps Appel let a retarded nephew of Bill Joy into his research group; I don't know, and I don't care to know.

Besides the ridiculous concept, the garish color is almost as obnoxious as FifteenJavaProgrammersUpOnYourNuts all UsingMixedCase with StupidlyLongIdentifiers and AskingIfWeCanEatLunchSomewhereThatSupportsEclipse hatehatehate!

too dated

We are using this as one of the main textbooks for the Compiler Construction at the University of Bern.

Reading the tiger book as I am reading some papers on compilers.
