Hello there! Great post :)

I never took a course in writing compilers at University but have always been interested - where would be the best place to start for somebody interested in doing this? To dip their toes into the water if you will?

Just tinkering with the tools and writing some code helped me a lot more than the university course I had 6 years ago. There are several beginner friendly online resources now including

1. Write a scheme in 48hrs in Haskell

2. Kaleidoscope tutorial by LLVM developers

3. http://www.buildyourownlisp.com

4. http://createyourproglang.com

You can take Stanford's Compilers course for free as an online course from Stanford's Lagunita.
