A course on building compiler frontends including an interpreter and a code generator. The compiler is built for a toy language, Gom, similar to ECMAScript and generates LLVM intermediate representation code.

Target Audience

• Software Engineers: People who want to take up a challenging project on the side and learn at their own pace by doing.
• Students: Students who want to learn more about building practical compilers paced at their preference. Possibly showcase their project.
