Title: Need definition of "confusing" ?
Product review: Designing and implementing a reasonable compiler is a fairly masochistic activity. But this book makes it much worse. Poorly written, awfully confusing this book presents a spaghetti of java classes without even a slightest attempt to clarify the concepts or create any general understanding of the subject.While painfully struggling through this mess I was under the impression that the author was writing it on the side of napkins during lunch. And never reread what he wrote.To make it even worse the book is full of errors, and bugs in code examples. Publishing this mess is a disrespect to readers (and students who might be so unlucky as to have this for a course textbook) I do not know if there is anything better available, but this is unacceptable.
