   I really don't understand why the Dragon Book is considered canonical   
   for anything but parsing. Perhaps it's simply the incumbent. Anyhow,   
   I've found "Engineering a Compiler" by Cooper/Torczon to be excellent.   
   I don't think there are exercises in the book, but I believe its used   
   by many universities, so you may be able to supplement it with some   
   lab assignments online.   
      
   Best of luck,   
   Paul
