Abstract

This short-paper offers an experience report about a successful way of giving an introductory compiler construction course to 3rd-year undergraduate students. Because the in-depth-presentation of compiler construction has nowadays become rather seldom at South African universities, this short-paper is intended to serve as motivation and recipe for the topic's (re)introduction at other institutions of tertiary education.
