[antlr-interest] what would ANTLR ref guide revised edition have?

[Terence Parr]

Hi Ray,

Yeah, the language implementation patterns book is much more amenable to a class I would say. the reference guide is more of an accompanying text. do think that is working out for you this semester would be examples in the LIP book?

 I'm actually teaching a programming language is classed myself this semester. I have been doing six projects that take anywhere from 3 to 10 hours depending on their abilities. This gives them the skills necessary to tackle the Smalltalk compiler and interpreter starting next month. yikes. I hope it does anyway ;)

This is especially true as one enters the realm of trees and then string rewriting.  I used the book for a class on writing language parsers and we had a good deal of difficulty after the first part.  We're currently using the Language Implementation Patterns book with a bit more success so far because of the orderly presentation that the use of patterns is providing.
