The few I learned about compilers and interpreters mainly comes from:

- The learn of assembly language on Z80, then M68000, and a bit of Mips and 
x86.

- The learn of C language.

- The Lex & Yacc software learned at School.

- The write of a Lisp interpreter.

By learning, I mean writing software of course. :-)

And all depends on your own skills and technical background. You are the 
better people to find the better book that suits your need.

I suggest you start with C and Lex & Yacc to understand the Gambas compiler 
first - if understanding Gambas is your goal of course :-)
