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.
