Do anyone know where to find good online resources with examples how to make grammars and parsetrees? Preferebly introductary materials. Info that is n00b friendly, haven't found anything good with google myself. edit: I'm thinking about theory, not a specific parser software.

Well, here's where I learned it...

Click on the lectures tag, scroll through till you find the lectures on the material you are talking about.

Love my alma mater. God bless them, they never take down their lectures in any class and you can go and read any of them anytime you want.

edit: Looks like you want lecture11

Not online, but maybe you should take a look at Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools (2nd Edition) by Aho et al. This is a standard text that has been evolving for 30 years (if you count the 1st Dragon Book, published in 1977

The Dragon Book is a great book very difficult for a n00b.
