I would do the Crafting Interpreters book to begin with. It's free online.

Agree! Learned a lot from doing it myself. Now trying out the techniques I learned there to write a VM for lisp

I currently study https://github.com/DoctorWkt/acwj which is quite interesting I have to admit.

I'm interested in this topic, because I want to participate in TinyC compiler's development; I use it quite often to run C demos of mine and its execution is instant.

The least I can do is to either fix bugs or extend it to support more C99, C11, C17 features, and why not even C23 as soon as it gets approved?

All I need is to gain the necessary knowledge and experience to jump right in and start fixing things.

CS6120 Cornell that has focus on optimizations and less on parsing. It got posted around within last month on HN.
