Yes, it walks your through it step by step. I have https://pragprog.com/titles/tpantlr2/the-definitive-antlr-4-... and at least 1 more of his, forget where it is. I would say it is ageless (at least, until something better than ANTLR comes along—ohm is promising but not sure what the latest is with that).

"The Definitive ANTLR 4 Reference" is absolutely the most understated title I've ever seen in a book. It's really more like "The Book That Will Change How you Look at Programming Languages Forever"

IMO anyway. I guess it depends on how much you've been exposed to parsers and grammars and compiler compilers already.




Thanks, I'll start reading his book, already have some experience with interpreters and compilers :)
