For the actual implementation of a compiler (not design of the language itself), I&#x27;d recommend &quot;Modern Compiler Design&quot; by Dick Grune.
A lot more practical and readable than the Dragon Book.<p>About the language design itself, you might want to have a look to: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.drdobbs.com&#x2F;architecture-and-design&#x2F;so-you-want-to-write-your-own-language&#x2F;240165488" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.drdobbs.com&#x2F;architecture-and-design&#x2F;so-you-want-t...</a>
These are very interesting guidelines from Walter Bright, the man behind the D programming language.
