My professor asks us to find a simple compiler. We should be able to discuss the phases of that compiler's code. The compiler doesn't have to be a big and complicated one. Just a small one.

Obviously the first thing you might be tempted to say is, it's simply not possible to create an AI... well, I know a little about programming, a little about electronics, a little about how the brain works, and a decent amount about psychology. With this knowledge I'm tempted to try and code my own program language for custom circuits and computer(s), then write my own AI "program," but I don't have the technical skills to do such a thing just yet... I just know enough to know that it may in fact be possible. After I have finished with the "brain" of the AI, I would like to build a body as well, so I need to know about robots--and how to code them--as well. All this said, what all do you think I need to know in order to accomplish this feat? Here is a list of books I own, or would like to own... tell me if with these books I would have enough information to at least get started. Principles or Neural Science by Eric Kandel Psychology by David Myers The Human Brain Book by Rita Carter Anatomy & Physiology by Kevin Patton Practical Electronics for Inventors by Paul Scherz Electronics for Dummies by Cathleen Shamieh Circuit Analysis for Dummies by John Santiago How Computers Work by Ron White Robot Building for Beginners by David Cook Human-Like Biomechanics by Vladimir Ivancevic Circuitbuilding for Dummies by H. Silver Engineering a Compiler by Keith Cooper Robotics by Bruno Siciliano Robot Programming by Joe Jones Algorithims + Data Structures = Programs by Niklaus Wirth Programming Language Processors in Java by David Watt Programming Languages by Maurizio Gabbrielli Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming by Peter Norvig With those books, will I get by??? Help me please!

I am 13 years old and I have always been interested in many things in programming such as game making. My interest for game making has gone away though. One thing that always made me interested in programming is making a programming language. I have the dragon book but I don't know if I should actually read it or I could find better resources for free and not waste my time. I want to start making a programming language while I still can rather than programming as a job or anything else. So, is there any books that are better then the dragon book? I want to make a compiler so should I learn assembly or other things like llvm Where can I learn about how parsers, tokenizer, ast, and codegen work which language should I learn to do this.(I know Java, C#, C++, and I am willing to learn any other language to do this). anything else?

I am a beginner in programming but I have been using computer quite well por about past 6 years, so I have some insight in computer algorithm. Is it Ansi C by E Balaguruswamy or Let us C by Yashwant Kanitkar's book or any other book ? I want to start programming from grassroots level i.e. from level 0.
