There is a Compilers MOOC that just started on Coursera that is being taught by a professor from Stanford if anybody is interested.
https://www.coursera.org/course/compilers
I've just started watching the videos and while they haven't gotten that technical yet I can at least say the presenter is pretty good.
Maybe I'll finally finish going through my copy of the dragon book.

I enrolled yesterday (although I'm not sure if I'm going to do any assignments or the class project - I'm not in it for a certificate and would rather be writing my compiler than writing their compiler). It seems like a very good course so far
Cheers,
Brendan

Thank you Chase! The timing was perfect because I have been studying this field on my own. It is really COOL to relax a bit and follow the course instead of trying to figure out everything by myself. I watched all the videos available by now and I agree that the presenter is pretty good.

By having a first look it seems good (I've seen other courses on coursera before), but I am not going to touch it as compiler writing is way too much heat for me.

Do you still like the course? There were little quizzes within videos and I managed to answer correctly every time. However, it did not last and the first incorrect answer felt bad.
I thought that I would do assignments but I do not have enough time to complete all of them. I looked at the first one but it was too much learning to use tools (e.g. flex) than actually creating the tools so I will just watch the videos.
