Compiler Construction
The goal of the note is to understand how a modern compiler is structured and the major algorithms used to translate code from high-level to machine language. Topics covered are: Overview of compilers, Scanners and lexical analysis, Parsing, Static semantics, type checking, and symbol tables, Runtime organization and code shape, Code generation - instruction selection and scheduling, Register allocation, Program analysis, optimization, and program transformations.

Basics of Compiler Design by Torben Egidius Mogensen
Authored by Torben Egidius Mogensen from the University of Copenhagen, this lengthy document is an excellent introduction to compiler design. Beginning with basic concepts of lexical and syntax analysis, it goes through the advanced themes that include scopes, symbol tables, and interpretation. Further, type checking, intermediate code generation, and machine code generation are explained in detail, making the whole process of compilation familiar to the reader. It covers key topics such as register allocation, function calls, memory management, analysis, and optimization, and even bootstrapping a compiler. This text will be very useful to anyone who wants to research both theoretical and practical problems concerned with compiler construction.

Comiler Design Notes by Avinav Pathak
These notes by Avinav Pathak from Shobhit Institute of Engineering and Technology, Meerut, give a crisp, comprehensive overview of compiler design. It covers the role of the compiler and translator. Detailed lexical analysis is done, along with the implementation of a lexical analyzer. Basic parsing techniques and syntax analyzer generators have been dealt with, along with runtime memory management and error detection and recovery strategies. The topics of code optimization and code generation are well covered in these notes, too. This will be useful for students and professionals who want an accessible lead-in to compiler design and its main elements.

An Overview of compiler design
Y.N. Srikant has given a comprehensive, deep description of compiler design and related subjects; the book focuses on the detail of the same. It involves, in itself, parsers and interpreters of JavaScript and Flash, machine code generation, and software testing; it lays its focus also on the detailed account of advanced topics of optimization techniques, malicious code detection, and new computer type designing architectures. It gives insights into compiler-in-the-loop hardware development, hardware synthesis, VHDL-to-RTL translation, and compiled simulation. The value of the book is really important because it will serve the purpose for readers who intend to focus on the theoretical and practical aspects of developing modern compilers and related technologies.

Introduction to Compilers and Language Design
Prof. Douglas Thain's course introduction covers the fundamentals of compiler and language design. This book starts with a quick tour of compiler concepts, then proceeds into careful sections on scanning and parsing, practical parsing techniques, generation of abstract syntax trees, semantic analysis, and intermediate representations. Moreover, it demonstrates the memory organization, assembly language, code generation, and optimization. Any student who requires a detailed view of both theory and practice in compiler design will find this resource helpful.

Compiler Design by Frank Pfenning
Frank Pfenning's online resource deals with the design and implementation of compiler and runtime systems for high-level languages. It covers the interactions between language design, compiler design, and runtime organization. Key topics include lexical and syntactic analysis, type-checking, program analysis, code generation, and optimization. It is useful to anyone interested in learning about the whole process of compiler development and how various parts of a programming language implementation interact.

These course notes from the University of Wales Swansea provide an introduction to compiler design, focusing on formal language theory. It covers lexical and syntax analysis, parsing, symbol tables, and semantic analysis. The course includes practices in using tools like Javacc and the Tiny machine simulator to get practical experience in compiler construction. It will, therefore, be very resourceful to students and practitioners seeking to develop basic knowledge on compiler design and its application in the recognition and processing of programming languages.
