26 sourcesI’ve got some links here:

In My First Fifteen Compilersthere are some parsing urls on this page:
https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages/blob/master/com...
In Ask HN: What are some resources on how to build a parser?There's a lot of information on compilers, parsers, etc on the Internet. I'm trying to gather some of the information h=on github:
https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages/blob/master/com...
In Show HN: How to write a recursive descent parserI'm a fan of using org mode files on Github. Hopefully, Github continues to expand org support:
https://github.com/melling/ios_topics/blob/master/README.org
https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages
https://github.com/melling/ErgonomicNotes/blob/master/README...
In Org mode 9.0 releasedHere are my compiler resources:
https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages/blob/master/com...
In Show HN: Writing my first interpreter in C for funAdded it to the Compiler section:
https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages/blob/master/com...
In Show HN: My own C compiler (just for fun)There are several other C compilers on Github. I list a few of them here.
https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages/blob/master/com...
They probably deserve their own section.
In Show HN: My own C compiler (just for fun)I've got a small list of Elixir links, including editor support:
https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages/blob/master/eli...
In List of Elixir booksI've got a collection of resources on compilers and interpreters:
https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages/blob/master/com...
In So You Want to Be a Compiler WizardI didn't read the article and I knew what he meant.
20 years ago I'd buy books to learn Java, Linux, etc. These days if I want to learn something, I just start Googling.
I still think organized and structured information is helpful. We just need to devise a better way. I'm using Github for some things:
https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages
And for Swift and iOS where I want to go deeper, I'm creating my own Cookbook, and perhaps my own search engine:
http://www.h4labs.com/dev/ios/swift_cookbook.html
In Am I really a developer or just a good Googler?Here are some other resources if you want to learn R:
https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages/blob/master/r.o...
In Impatient RI'm collecting compiler resources on Github:
https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages/blob/master/com...
If anyone has other good links, please post.
