Weekly Notes	Topics	Reading	Assignments
Week 1	Syllabus Chapter 1 - Overview of Compilers A nice web page on compilers Warning: Some links below are dead	Chapter 1
Week 2	OLD Chap 1: Intro OLD Chap 2: Lexer Chapter 2 notes from text: A sample recursive descent compiler, implemented using the visitor pattern. Chapter 3 notes from text: Scanners. Assignment: hand write a scanner, table driven or brute force, for Ada tokens. A test program should repeatedly call getToken and advanceToken and outputs each token and any associated lexemes. You can work as a group or individually. I'd suggest separating input from implementing the FA, using routines such as get, next, putback. Classifying characters can be done either either place.
