Building Server-Side Web Language Processors

Building Server-Side Web Language Processors

On this blog I will also be discussing about a paper witten by my compiler design teacher in the Computer science career. The main topic of this paper is to consider a web approach to compilers design teaching method.

First the author introduces todays process of teaching this course, in which students are able to create a very small but yet fully functional compiler at the end of the semester, which the author considers that there is a lot of subjects and concepts left to teach, to solve this Ariel suggests a web-based architecture compiler for this course to be teached.

Despite of the advantages this course can have by implementting a web approach, the author decreates that many of the stduentes by the time they get graduated, will become web developers, so this way of theaching compilers design will halp students also to understand the web architecture of an aplication.

This concept is basically to have a server that, by stablishing rules and apis in order to make the web-based language usefull enough, is able to function as a  translating language.

The papers introduces how a web based architecture works and which elements conformed a web aplication, later this, Ariel explained how this elements can be configured and programmed to have transalator program and with this make a much wealthy course for students of this career.

As a web programmers, I do really agreed my teacher's approach to this course, beacuse it may help student more about web based architecture which is very usefull subject for the out profesional career and I even found this a very innovating way of teaching very abstract and difficult subjects of computer science career,
