For software developers, Parr (U. of San Francisco) presents a guide on using ANTLR v3 (Another Tool for Language Recognition), a parser generator, to create interpreters and translators for domain-specific languages. It is meant for beginners and experts and aimed at the average programmer, while selected parts require some language experience. Readers should know Java. He details the concepts of ANTLR, describes how the nature of computer languages dictates the nature of language recognizers, and provides a complete calculator example. He then outlines the details of building large and complex grammars and translators, and discusses ANTLR's predicated-LL(*) parsing strategy and grammar analysis errors.
