#4I'm sorry to be negative here, but this article, like most articles about compilers, is bike shedding.
For those not aware of the bike shedding metaphor, it's the assertion that when discussing the design of a nuclear power plant, everyone will want to discuss the color of the shed where the workers store their bikes because they understand it. Meanwhile, nobody will want to discuss the nuclear reactor itself, because that's complicated and they don't really understand what's going on with it.
In compilers, parsing is the bike shed, and code emitters are the nuclear reactor. I've read probably hundreds of articles on "compilers" at this point, and they're all actually just about parsers. I can't point to a single one that actually emitted working assembly.

This tutorial is multipart, the code emitting is in the 3rd part.

i have to agree, its like people get excited about getting something going and immediately write about the parser level and thats all you see

I'll believe it when I see it.
