Parsing Techniques - A Practical Guide

Parsing Techniques - A Practical Guide. I'm really looking for a good book to teach me about parsing theory. Not just about finite automata, context free grammars, etc., but about how to actually approach parsing. Writing a parser I want often takes longer than I want it to... I want to learn how to go about writing parsers well. So I guess I want something on "the theory and practice of parsing".

If anyone has any suggestions on reading material, please pass it along.

Update, here's a review of the book.

Trying out titles

As you can see, I'm trying out titles for my blog posts. Right now, they're not "official" titles... just strong text set above the rest. If I keep it up and find it useful, I'll add the title as a real feature of my weblog I really like how Mark Pilgrim works his titles.

Of course, that's for after I do a CSS-only design Just a little more reading to do on CSS2, but primarily I need more time.

Mind Bombs?

You know how there are those books that change the way you think forever? I've had two of those in my life... I want more! There have to be books out there that will challenge me - make me think about things I haven't thought about before. Or teach me things I don't yet know.

AdCritic.com resurrected?

Excellent! "Via Evhead"="http://www.evhead.com/archives/2002_03_01_arch.asp#
75041044", Ad Age aquires AdCritic.com. "The highly popular AdCritic Web service will be relaunched as part of the Ad Age Group network of industry Web sites, the advertising industry's No. 1 provider of online industry news, data and research."... but hmm... "The new online service will be targeted specifically at ad industry professionals and will consist of premium-level content for business subscribers."
