In the book “Build your own Programming Language - Second Edition” by the author of the Unicon programming language, you will embark on a full tutorial on Language design, compiler making, preprocessors, transpilers, and runtime systems. This course also teaches the construction of the Jzero language, which is based on Java. The viewers will see the codes being built in Java and Unicon.
Starting with the front end of a compiler, you can develop lexical analyzers and parsers with the help of Lex and YACC instruments. The book “Build your own Programming Language - Second Edition” explains syntax tree traversals, code generation for bytecode virtual machines or native code, and the difference between preprocessor and transpiler. The application and expansion of the code, real-life testing of the content, or the development of the Unicon language expand your comprehension of it.
Whether the motivation is need, teaching, or inspiration, Build your own Programming Language - Second Edition provides you with the practical skills to build your own programming language. It is useful for software developers planning to design or develop a language restricted to a particular domain and for computer science students studying compilation techniques. It will be presupposed that the reader has an intermediate level of knowledge in Java or C++; you will receive professional tips on how languages are created from scratch.
