This website serves as a supplement to the 2nd Edition of the textbook Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools (commonly known as the Dragon Book). The new Dragon Book has been available since September 2006. It has been revised in significant ways, to include a treatment of modern code-optimization techniques, garbage-collection, and many features of object-oriented languages. The new cover is pretty cool too. The book can be ordered from the publisher, Addison-Wesley. |

The new edition also comes (in North America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle-East) with a subscription to the Gradiance on-line homework system. This feature allows either tutorial self study by the student (if they enroll in the "omnibus course") or automated class homework with hints to students, should the instructor use the system as a component of the course.
Note to Instructors: You can set up a class using the Gradiance system and assign work to your students. If you want instructor access, send mail to support at gradiance dt com with a copy to matt dt goldstein at aw dt com.
Here is the current Errata List. We welcome reports of errors in the text and acknowledge all valid corrections on the errata sheet. Please send errata to ullman at gmail dt com.
