Purchase options and add-ons

Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools, known to professors, students, and developers worldwide as the "Dragon Book," is available in a new edition. Every chapter has been completely revised to reflect developments in software engineering, programming languages, and computer architecture that have occurred since 1986, when the last edition published. The authors, recognizing that few readers will ever go on to construct a compiler, retain their focus on the broader set of problems faced in software design and software development.

New chapters include:

Chapter 10 Instruction-Level Parallelism

Chapter 11 Optimizing for Parallelism and Locality

Chapter 12 Interprocedural Analysis

5.0 out of 5 stars A very well-written book.
Reviewed in the United States on 13 December 2016
Verified Purchase
I'm a senior Computer Science student and will be taking a course on compilers in the upcoming quarter. I was incredibly excited to see this book listed for the course, because it has a legendary status. If you watch some of the Microsoft's compiler related videos, for example, you can see this book sitting in the background in some of the videos. My school has made some poor choices with books for other courses... needless to say, I was very happy to see this one.

I bought this book well ahead of time, because the subject of compilers is not an easy one. Luckily, I just completed a course on Formal Languages & Automata, so some of the things involved in the compilation process is less frightening for me than they would be otherwise. However, I knew I would have to get a good head-start to do well in class, but also to truly learn and understand the subject. This book is very well written and I've gotten far enough into it to comfortably comment on it. As far as theory-packed books are concerned, this one is top-notch. The authors made it very approachable and it doesn't feel like they're trying to bloat the content with academic nonsense in order to place themselves on a pedestal above all else. No, I can confidently say that they've done an amazing job in making it as friendly as possible. With that said, and as I've mentioned, this is not an easy topic. Unless you're exceptionally amazing at comprehending complex material through the first read-through, expect to read this book a few times. On the bright side, it's a pretty good read and you will learn a lot from it.

If you have the right mindset and the necessary passion, this is the book for you. The authors have done a fantastic job and you will not regret investing time into it.

1.0 out of 5 stars An Indian contenant version of the classic Dragon Book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2015
Verified Purchase
This review refers NOT to the original 2006 edition but to the 2014 re-print by Pearson India, via DKIndia. ISBN - 978-93-325-1866-7. The inside page of this book reads "This edition is authorised for sale only in India, BanglAdesh, Bhutan, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Circulation of this edition outside of these territories is UNAUTHORISED." Therefore this edition should not be available to us in the UK.

The back of this Indian edition is even more ominous where it says "For these special editions, the editorial team at Pearson has collaborated with educators across the world to address a wide range of subjects and requirements, equipping students with the best possible learning tools" (MH so far so good). It continues ....

"This international edition preserves the cutting-edge approach and pedagogy of the original, BUT MAY ALSO FEATURE ALTERATIONS, CUSTOMIZATION AND ADAPTATIONS FROM THE UNITED STATES VERSION" (Caps MH).

This is somewhat concerning, as there is no indication within the book what has been changed, altered or customised!

So what is the actual condition of the the book itself.

Well the binding is OK, but looks a little flimsy, however inside the type quality is not very good, with frequent smudges and a very faint text. The paper quality is not very good either and to be honest the book does not look like it will last very long, without falling apart.

Unfortunately having never had an opportunity to read the original, I don't know how close this edition is. Also some readers have reported on the reviews below, that some of the algorithms are wrong. Again I don't know the validity of these statements. But I will raise this with Amazon in the morning.

So if you are going to buy this book from the sellers, then be aware that almost all of them are from India and therefore it is highly likely that you will receive an edition that is the same as my one.

In fairness these may be perfectly good copies of the original, but we should be made aware before we purchase them that these are Indian editions and that the quality might not be up to what we are normally used to, and even more importantly, there may be some additions, alterations or customisations to the test.

LET THE BUYER BEWARE.

5.0 out of 5 stars My bookshelf is more beautiful
Reviewed in Canada on 18 December 2013
Verified Purchase
The "Dragon" book makes any bookshelf look more beautiful, and is great for photo shoots and job applications.

Also, if you read the book your IQ will be increased by 3 points.

But seriously, this book is very well written. Compilers are not simple by any stretch of the imagination, but this book does well to explain them in detail. No previous knowledge or awareness of compilers is required, though a good understanding of programming is essential. I bought this book as a required text for a course, and by the end felt a much better appreciation for compilers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The classical dragon book
Reviewed in Germany on 16 March 2007
Verified Purchase
I just recently bought the new edition of the "dragon book" and it seems to be a really high quality book (being worth the spent money). Although I studied electrical engineering and did only have a brief understanding of compilers, the book provides a very good opportunity to learn more about the (partially quite theoretical) backgrounds of compilers. The writing style is very good to read. Furthermore, I like the mixture of theory and practical examples as provided by the book very much.
