Editorial Review:
This book provides the foundation for understanding the theory and pracitce of compilers. Revised and updated, it reflects the current state of compilation. Every chapter has been completely revised to reflect developments in software engineering, programming languages, and computer architecture that have occurred since 1986, when the last edition published. The authors, recognizing that few readers will ever go on to construct a compiler, retain their focus on the broader set of problems faced in software design and software development. Computer scientists, developers, and aspiring students that want to learn how to build, maintain, and execute a compiler for a major programming language.

Rating:  - Decent but...
This book is famous, and when I told people 20 years my senior that I was in compilers and I was using the dragon book, they knew the book. There are probably some changes between editions between now and then, but the fundamentals of compiler design has changed little.
And when it comes to be basics, reading this book can be more like slogging. The information is there, but it isn't quiet clear. Some topics have examples that do most of the explaining, while other topics lack a nice ... Read More
Rating:  - Life is a Lex.
The Dragon book is a core text for understand complier theory. Great technical reading for all software developers and software engineers.
Rating: - The best for getting the theoretical foundation of compilers
This is the classical reference book for compiler design. This is not an easy text because of its heavy use of mathematical notation and the algorithms are presented only in pseudo code but you will not find a more complete collection of compiler related algorithms than in this book.
Rating: - Warmed over ghost of past excellence
I spent some serious quality time with the first edition (the "red dragon book"), in three main episodes over the past dozen years: 1) undergraduate compilers class, 2) industry project, and 3) parser generator implementation. During all three episodes, I was disappointed in various ways, though there is no denying that the book contains a wealth of information. As an undergraduate, I found the book somewhat impenetrable. When in industry, I found the book too abstract. When implementing a parser ... Read More
Rating: - The new cover is awesome! Long live the Purple Dragon!
The CGI cover looks great! I only wish it stretched along the spine of the book like in the previous editions.
