I'm sure this is vastly oversimplified, but thanks for writing a quick summary of the steps. Do you have a good recommendation for books on compilers other than Dragon?

I don't know of any good books, sorry! There's plenty of helpful stuff on the web, though it can be hard to sift through. Personally I think just trying to write the code is the best way to learn.
