I'm interested in attending the Hackathon, but I don't have anyprevious experience working on compilers.
One book I'm reading right now is "Modern Compiler Implementation in ML" (http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/ml/). The author writes a compiler of increasing complexity as the book progresses. He focuses on a practical approach, eschewing a rigorous introduction to the lambda calculus, for instance -- this suits me, as there are good references elsewhere on the latter. It's in NJ Standard ML, but I've found it relatively straightforward to understand. Another question regarding the hackathon: will anyone be video taping the presentations? I live in europe and travel will be prohibitive: it would be nice if the presentations where mpeg'd and dumped onto the haskell website so that anyone can watch them! Martin
