Dang, I didn't know that. I thought it was decent enough to get people exposed to doas(1), pkg_add(1), syspatch(8), etc... from which they could then read the man pages.
Thanks for pointing this out and I appreciate the other recommendations in this thread. Massive +1 for @jcs. That dude is awesome and puts out great stuff.
Good question. Check out Reddit - that is where I found the original. I understand it was made for the movies but I have not been able to locate the exact source or a place to order it from.
Anyone know a good resource for getting started writing a compiler? I'm not trying to write a new LLVM, but being a "software engineer" writing web-based APIs for a living is leaving me wanting more.
The dragon book is a classic, and was a terrific resource thirty and forty years ago. Today there are many far better resources. Several listed adjacent to this one.
It’s focused on theory and very heavy on parsing. All of that is fine, but not especially useful for the hobbies.
I am currently going through that book. I recommend it with one caveat: you'll need to have written some interpreters before (Crafting Interpreters is a perfect starting point) because it expects you to already know some things like to how write a simple recursive decent parser.
