Highlights

  • You'll learn about abstract syntax trees (ASTs) and how programs can represent and manipulate other programs, which is handy for working with linters, static analyzers, and metaprogramming.
  • You'll learn about assembly, calling conventions, and the low-level details of how computers work.
  • It's an ambitious project that will make you feel like a badass upon completion.

Recommendation

This course is recommended for those interested in learning about compiler design, programming, and software development at a deeper level. By writing a C compiler from scratch, you'll gain valuable insights into the inner workings of computer systems and the process of transforming high-level code into executable programs.
