Compiler Construction in West African Countries
LockedKnown having undergone the course while at school that Compiler Construction is process of getting or building program software (compiler) that translate a program in some language (the source language) into a lower-level language (the target language), i.e. compiler produces a program equivalent to the source program in a target language. So to say that knowledge of compiler construction helps one develop software of one’s taste that could be used to produce application softwares. The fact that our African Computer Specialists still tend to be advanced user of application(s) written by their colleagues from the rest of the world, forgetting their primary responsibility of producing softwares that are not just applications but softwares that are as well are tools for producing applications i.e. producing Compiler(s) is truely a fact. And there is need to remind ourselves about the necessity to do something about this so that we too can contribute our quota to the attainement of excellency in the Global IT world.
