   As John says...  One way to go is study attribute evaluation and then   
   realize that SDT is just attribute evaluation over an L-attributed   
   grammar.  Most basic compiler construction textbooks cover it this   
   way.  My personal favorite treatment for the first exposure is   
   Louden's.  After that, the dragon book (Aho, Sethi, Ulman) will make   
   additional sense.
