About

After this course, not only will you be able to use a parser generator to build parsers for programming languages but will also understand how the parser generators work under the hood themselves.

Implementing a parser for a programming language would also make your practical usage of other programming languages more professional.

As we will build a language similar in semantics to JavaScript or Python (the two most popular programming languages today), we will specifically use JavaScript and its elegant multi-paradigm structure, which combines functional programming and class-based and prototype-based OOP.
