Email me if you'd like an HTML version of this. I have converted most of it for my own personal use (through part 11, IIRC) but don't want to distribute it publicly since I'm unclear on the copyright status.
I suggest you contact the IECC. They should be able to provide guidance on what you can share and how. It's old enough that they might allow separate hosting provided you link back to their site.
I went through this on my own back in a HS programming class! Glad to see it here. While the teacher was walking students through how to do loops, I got permission to hack away in the back of the room on this. I ended up building a BASIC-like interpreter with a decent graphics API. By the end of the class, my project was a multi-level breakout game I'd written in the interpreter I'd written. TLDR; two years later, I…
That same game project I started then still has been going on since then, multiple compilers and VMs written to do parts of the game. It's ended up an incredibly complex monstrosity with procedurally generated worlds and randomly altered scripts (some actions just won't be available on some play-throughs).
This series is one of the best introductions to compiler construction. It doesn't cover everything and it's 25 years old now, but it is the only guide I know of that will hold your hand as you build a working compiler from scratch. If you have never built a compiler before, I cannot think of a better place to start. Afterward, if you're curious about theory and advanced topics, I recommend heading to Compilers: Princ…
I've seen Engineering a Compiler get recommended as well, have you read that one?

There is a class about compilers on coursera [1] which should be pretty good and more up to date. [1] https://www.coursera.org/course/compilers

Taking this course was an great way to learn more about compilers and fill a hole in my CS curriculum. Professor Alex Aiken is a great instructor and covers a good amount of material. I learned a lot about compiler construction despite having toyed with my own compiler before starting the course. The programming assignments were particularly tough, giving me useful experience in building compilers and a great sense of achievement.

Would there happen to be a PDF or eBook format of this?
