i am planning to do compiler design as a project. i have an idea of implementing it in Visual C++. The compiler is basically for a language, which is developed by my team, a sort of beginner's computer language. As this more of learning project, i dont want to use tools such as flex and yacc. i have learned the theory about the compilers in the "Principles of Compiler Design" which is written by Aho and Ullman. i cud understand the theory behind the operator precedence, predictive(:o) and other complex parsers. i wud like to know which is the best algorithm for implementing a parser. also i wud like to know whether is it really necessary to follow the algorithms given in the books for gettin an effective one.

Well, "Writing Comilers and Interpreters" is good.
