Charles Canaff
The instructor speaks clearly and the videos are easy to follow, despite the challenging content (for me, at least lol). Every video has a clear diff attached which makes viewing the code even easier. Instructor responds helpfully to questions.
Jared
Excellent! Truly understandable source code and explanations. Thanks very much. Please also publish printed books on compiler implementation.
Roop Chander
I love the content. Daniel is the best. as always. The only thing I could suggest , is to use a better video player and not the default html one. One that saves the playback speed etc. something like video.js. Thanks again Daniel. I have all your courses in udemy too.

Amazing course! Thank you!
陳靖雯
A truly wonderful course - Always wanted to know what's going on when I compile stuff & for like minded folk I thoroughly recommend this course. Daniel explains everything very clearly - He's an excellent tutor, and thank you Daniel for putting this course together.

It's realy an excellent course, I learned a lot of knowledge about the compiler.
George Chow
A deep detailed dive into writing a C compiler. It was quite a thrill when we got to the stage that my compiler could generate real, working assembly code. I got a good understanding of how the concepts from C map to assembler and how to get there.
Chris Thompson
A wonderful course that goes very in depth. I've been looking for a course like this, and this was exactly what I needed.
Michael Allison
I'm just now returning to this course after several months, so the review is of my impression without having completed the full course. In summary, WOW! Daniel is easily one of the best online instructors I have learned from. Clarity of lessons, pace of instruction and his availability to respond to questions is nearly unparalleled. And, all of that is combined with a topic (creating a C compiler) which is probably only available here. Highly recommended for anyone interested in learning what a compiler does.
Charles Mandel
Very good course! Very clearly to explain the complicated topic! AMAZING! And when the 3rd module will be released? Looking forward to it!

I first bought this course on Udemy. After watching it a few minutes I realized that this course phenomenal, so bought all modules. I just started to learn C, so it's challenging and that's a good thing. With this course you really apply C what is a completely different experience than to learn some theory and implement snippets. The only thing I really miss in this course are UML like diagrams to provide a better overview. Sometimes it's hard to follow when you have a struct containing other structs that contain even more structs....all deeply nested...some diagrams would really help here. So I have it draw it myself to don't lose myself ;-) Anyway, a great course and I'm happy that there's still 90% left for me. I'm confident that after this course my C skills will have improved dramatically :-D Cheers

Hello Daniel, Thank you for this amazing course, I hope that you can add part 2 where we learn how to complete it fully including an assemblre or linking library instead of relying on nasm and gcc-multilib so we can make it cross platform. Kind Reagrds, Fedi

Great course.
Fahad Assiri
Flawless.
Federico R. Figueredo
Really liked the course, I needed this to get to know the basics for compiler development, thanks!
Omar Belghaouti
Very thorough explanation
Kaloyan Ivanov
Excellent course
Arkan M
It would be of great value if the course had some theoretical background on compilers.
Waleed Mashaqbeh
Amazing course! Daniel explains everything clearly and in a straightforward manner. Professionally, I prefer more of a top-down approach, but a practical course like this requires more of a bottom-up approach. Daniel balances theory with practical implementation really well. Wouldn’t change a thing! I’ve almost finished the code generator.

This course is intense!

Really enjoyed this course. It was a long one, but good to go from the parser and lexer, all the way through to code generation. Was fascinating to see how it was all broken down and finally all came together.
