Course detail

Selected Topics on Language Parsing and Translation

FIT-APDAcad. year: 2018/2019

This course discusses selected advanced topic on language parsing and compilation. It concentrates especially on the recent research results from the studied area. Nevertheless, it also presents topics usually not discussed because of their complexity even if the topics are not new. In details, it is presented theory of the parsing and compilation together with practical aspects of analyzer/compiler construction.
