Ultimately, diving deeper with only websites and articles can be quite challenging. I experienced this myself trying to learn more about the continuation passing style transformation in a compiler. No online websites or articles discussed the topic with any kind of depth.

Ultimately I read the classic book "Compiling with Continuations", and it basically cleared up all my confusions.

All of this is to say, don't discount books and courses. They will almost always be more in depth and correct than what you will find written up on a website.



I think you are very correct, and I don't like it. There should be more "online books" that are in depth and correct!


Have a look at this one! https://github.com/angrave/SystemProgramming/wiki

It was still in development when I went, looks like they made a PDF now. https://github.com/illinois-cs241/coursebook


The course was changed from cs241 to cs341 so I think the most up to date version is here [0] now.

Agreed!
