Before we focus on semantic analysis, we first consider syntactic analysis (the former builds on the latter). In particular, we study the following topics.
Andrew W. Appel and Jens Palsberg. Modern Compiler Implementation in Java. Cambridge University Press. 2003.
David A. Watt and Deryck F. Brown. Programming Language Processors in Java. Pearson. 2000.
Both books are on reserve in the Steacie Science and Engineering Library.
