There's also an excellent tutorial from LLVM, it got me started, I got some ideas and didn't want to be too influenced by "the right way", so I stopped somewhere mid tokenizer.. But I have a turing complete, interpreted language as of now, that I'm having a lot of fun thinking about.

The kaleidoscope tutorial is a good tour of LLVM capabiltiies, but I don't think I would consider it an alternative to either of these books.
