The little language compiler course project
Reind P. van de Riet · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 1979
This paper describes a project for a course in compiler construction meeting three constraints: (1) the project should start immediately at the beginning of the summer course being compressed to six weeks, five days a week; (2) one language had to be chosen that was understandable to students of different backgrounds and programming experience and suitable as a vehicle in making algorithms for compiler design; (3) the project should help in making well-structured programs.
