- Here's a vote _for_ Fischer/LeBlanc. It's the text for the undergrad
- compiler course at Georgia Tech, and the class project usually revolves
- around building a compiler, using a Pascal-ized lex/yacc suite for the
- parser and Pascal for the remainder.
-
- IMHO the discussion and description in the Ada version of LeBlanc is more
- clear and more appropriate for undergrad courses than the dragon book.
- YMMV.
