Hi, seems like an interesting course. I haven't studied compilers in my undergrad( I'm an electronics student) but I have been working as a programmer who studied c and bit of low level languages. Is there any prerequisite compiler knowledge required for this course?

The only prerequisite here is probably Racket, to follow along with the book

The Essentials of Compilation book mentioned is only ~$24 on Amazon. Usually books like this are much more expensive. I ordered a copy.

looks like a fun book but just be forewarned real compiler engineering is nothing like what's covered there.
