I am 40 now; back in 2004-2006, for two years I was one of the youngest professors in Italy, teaching "compilers and programming languages".
I still feel so fortunate to have had that experience.
To help my students save the relatively huge amount of money to buy the dragon book(s), I created a condensed version of the parts that were required for the course - and I didn't charge anything for it, unlike what usually happens pretty much everywhere in Italy. They were available in PDF and OpenOffice formats, on the website that I created for the course (yes, the CS department didn't really have a proper website to use as CMS - I kid you not).

You can find the material here, it's in Italian but it might be fun to take a quick look: http://www.lulu.com/shop/simone-brunozzi/dispense-lab-lingua...
Such good memories.
