#17I wonder if it makes sense to do the nand2tetris course for an absolute beginner since it too has compiler creation in it.

The Bornat book looks great.
The fact that it is in BCPL is ultra cool.

#20It's been about 4 years since I took a compilers course (from OMSCS, graduate program) and still shutter ... it was, hands down, the most difficult (yet rewarding) classes I've taken.
I would like to agree with this comment, but I certainly didn't find it rewarding. It was pure pain.
One of them was a compilers course done by karpathy. It was pure joy and a great learning experience.
Also in my experience the joy of doing a course was much stronger correlated with the teacher's qualities rather than the subject itself.
