Making compiler design relevant for students

There are a few courses that at first I thought they would never be useful to me or my career, but they always help me develop other skills, not necessarily related to the topic. I still don’t know if I’m going to use the information once I finish school, but they did help me open my mind to other forms of programming or designing software or architectures. It is interesting the approach that the author has on how it can be a point of interest for students the study on how to make a compiler, i think his words has a certain degree of truth on why normally students do not put as much attention as to other courses, it takes a very specific type of work to be able to apply the knowledge gained in this class to real world problems, but i think with the momentum that artificial intelligence is gaining, and be able to understand natural language through machine, courses like this gain more and more sense. As the author mentions, the knowledge used to make and design a compiler has the goal o...

Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Pablo Alejandro Sánchez Tadeo, I prefer Pablo, but either one is fine. I'm majoring in Computer Science and Software Engineering an the Institute of Technology and Higher Education of Monterrey, currently on the eight semester. I think this class will enlighten me on how programming languages work, and generally how the high level code that we write is understood by the computer itself. I am kind of nervous about this class because I think could be one of the hardest ones I've ever had in college, but I'm also excited because I know the outcome could be a really good and complete project. Outside of computer science and technology, I love cars, how they work and what they can do. Also love driving (when there is no traffic, otherwise I hate it a bit). I could spend hours staring at a good car and knowing about them. It is my second passion after Computer Science. I think it's because I generally like to know how things work. As for t...
