- Compiler Construction using Flex and Bison. I have downloaded a book with this title, with Open Publication License, v1.0, author Anthony A. Aaby. It has a few errors on chapter 2 (I have not read further yet) that could be fixed/improved by some people. The website and mail address mentioned in this book do not exist today, but I thought it may become a good wikibook. Address where I downloaded the book: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/rgal/ar_language/external/compiler.pdf .
