The best all-in-one book on compiler construction I know is Brinch Hansen On Pascal Compilers. As its name suggests, it implements a simple Pascal compiler in Pascal (but don't worry, Pascal is easy to pick up if you know another procedural language.) It uses recursive descent, which I think is the best compiler writing method, particularly for beginners, and at the end of the day you will end up with a working compiler.

As far as writing your own language goes (as opposed to specifically writing a compiler), I'd recommend looking at FORTH-like threaded languages. You can get an interpreter for one of these up and running very quickly and they can be very powerful.

  • The "Red Dragon Book of Compiler Design"
  • Compiler Design in C

    Both books I've read. The latter sits on my bookshelf. It was a gift from my girlfriend. Please don't waste your time trying to implement a compiler. It's a PhD level endeavor that will take years of dedicated 60 hour work weeks.

    Here are the same links linked from my Amazon affiliates account:

  • Compiler Design in C


    You are better off implementing a algebraic calculator using LR Parse. Start with Tom Torf's - Programmers Calculator - PCalc. It's written in C and pretty simple. You can fork it from my GitHub account if you have trouble finding Tom's source archive. Tom (may he rest in peace) also wrote several programming tutorials and contributed to comp.lang.c, alt.lang.c and the comp.lang.c FAQ.

The good thing about this subject is that even not-so-recent material can be just as valuable as things don't really change much in the core concepts around language design.
If you want to learn programming languages, looking for stuff on compiler design is a good place to start. I recommend, Compiler Design in C by Holub (http://www.amazon.com/Compiler-Design-Allen-I-Holub/dp/0133049574/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347051377&sr=8-1&keywords=compiler+design+in+c) You build your own compiler and by extension your own programming language for the compiler.

9 years without touching c++ I decided to re-learn it and found al this gem. I'm on mobile so don't bitch and moan about formatting.
