Effective Flex & Bison

I am on my second read of this great book. I have every page extensively highlighted, with notes scribbled everywhere. The book is brilliantly clear, insightful, and informative. Even if you're not going to be using Flex and Bison, this book is still worth reading for all of its programming gems. Here are a few excepts to give you a feel for the book's writing:"Correctness is the most important aspect of software, even more than speed. As the proverb goes, speed gets you nowhere if you are headed the wrong way.""Prioritize maintenance time over run time; computers get faster with every release, but programmers do not.""It's easy to match the input you expect, but it's harder to anticipate completely unexpected input."

Worth its weight in gold: literally, no joke.Several solutions from the book already saved us a significant amount of time and sweat as we work on a critical project.
