This is a wonderful book help me clear a lot of idea.Most of people study these tools,that is compiler,assembler,OS...and so forth, indenpendently.But L. Beck tell you the relationship between them systematically.It is really worthy of buying the book.It seems that there is hardly books talk about topic such as the content of the book.
The easy path to System Software
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
After working on C, C++ and a little bit of Assembly languages, you feel excited about the knowledge & underlying mechanisms of assemblers, loaders and linkers etc. I have gone through this book and found it extremely helpful in getting the complex concepts of system softwares. I agree with the idea of author to give the concepts on the basis of a hypothetical machine, rather than going into the complex details of any real system. This provides a big scope of the subject, giving you the ability to feel at ease with any system.What I like most in this book is that, its not so big and with just eight chapters, you feel comfortable about the idea of reading the book. I think, its a must to read book for computer science students.
Pretty Good
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found this book to be a pretty decent guide to understanding basic compilers structures. The reason I give it a four is because it's verbiage was a bit difficult to understand at times. The author begins by using a very novel example of a simple CPU and explains how to write an assembler for it and then a compiler. When you are done reading it you should be able to go off an write a pretty simple assembler, compiler and interpreter. (I did!)
