I've read that tutorial a while back and I can say that it is truly the
most horrific thing I've ever read concerning anything parser related.
He basically says "Here's some code. Look how easy it is.". Sorry, but
I can cut & paste with the best of them, but I'm not gonna learn
anything doing that. I empathise with what he's trying to do, but I
found it lacking in concepts.
To answer your question, his tutorial is rather centered around the
assembler. The early bits are easy enough, but later on, it's rather
ad-hoc and devoid of any real concepts.
