Want to create a programming language, but don’t feel like going through one of those expensive and boring
1000-page books
? Well, you’re not alone …

(included: ePub & Mobi formats).
Exercises & solutions

Most books on compilers are priced at more than $100 and are long and boring. My system, which contains a book (fun and to the point), exercises & solutions, three languages you can use however you want and a screencast, is only $39.99.
And I even give it to you for free if you’re not happy.
