Construction of compiler technology course in application-based university

Abstract. Compiler technology course is a very important compulsory basic course in professional computer education, and it is also an important branch in the computer system software. But the value of compiler’s existence as a classic core curriculum of computer science is to be questioned especially in some application university.
