How to develop a simple script language from scratch

Good morning guys,

I'd like to develop a simple script language - a very very simple one - and I'd like to know from your where I can start learning on this theme.
I need some tutorial or book I can study on and learn the very fundamental things.....

Thanks for your help!

How much compiler theory do you know? You need to know how to properly parse the text, and convert it into actions, and that is what compiler theory will tell you.

On the matter I know absolutely nothing.. since I'd like to be helpded with hints to start from....What I have in mind is to develop a very simple script language to be interpreted by a standard JVM, something similar - but less ambitious - to Jython - which as far as I know is a Java intepreter for the Python language.

Can you give me any suggestions ?

Thank you for your help.

If you want to learn the theory behind it, then http://www.amazon.co.uk/Compilers-Principles-Techniques-Alfred-Aho/dp/0321491696/ is the standard book on the subject.

Thank you for your suggestion. I'll look for that title and similar ones.
