My (tiny) CS department has a pretty nice compilers course, I thought. You work on a single, ~10k LoC file [0] that is written in a subset of C, compiles that subset to RISC-V, and also has a small VM and even a hypervisor for running the code it generates. The only thing is, the video lectures are 8 years old [1]. Though last semester, all lectures were online and anyone could join. Might be the same next spring/summer. You’d have to check the professor’s Twitter account.

Not a course [yet], but I did write a tutorial series for my undergrad students: http://web.eecs.utk.edu/~azh/blog/teenytinycompiler1.html

I think a course like that is pretty standard in a lot of larger CS programs. I saw that Stanford has a free online course: https://online.stanford.edu/courses/soe-ycscs1-compilers

I would be partial to any course that uses Appel's "Modern Compiler Implementation in ML", though that book is getting pretty old now.

I took Aiken's Stanford Compilers course on Coursera and wrote about it:

I can't seem to find that course on Coursera; was it removed?

I think they moved from Coursera to Stanford's own platform.

Thanks!

Maybe check this bibliography [1] of "Resources for Amateur Compiler Writers"... although I'm not sure what's the "Amateur" part of it... it lists several text books and papers that would take anyone a few years to work through :-/

https://thorstenball.com/books/ seems like a good star, and if you don't know Go it shouldn't take too long to get acquainted with it.
