In terms of compiler construction books, Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools should definitely be included. It's a definitive classic in the area.

That's true. I guess I didn't include it because I didn't particularly enjoy it. There are other books like Modern Compiler Design and Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation. Perhaps a link to other resources such as https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ListOfCompilerBooks would be useful? These days I'm happy to avoid learning all the details of CPU optimisations by using LLVM.

Happy to accept pull requests.

Sure no probs. I'll submit one when I'm at my comp.
