I took the IU compilers course as an undergrad and can easily say it was my favorite course. If anyone is interested, here is a link to the textbook which will cover this papers content in much finer detail:
I haven't 'done this course' as I am no student; but I did read through the book and did most of the exercises. Very good and I always recommend it when it comes to compilers. Helps you think in types / languages.
