Are there any recommended books or videos to learn about the principles of compilation? What else should I learn besides the principles of compilation?
Check out this video: [DConf 2016 Day 2 Keynote: Spelunking D Compiler Internals -- Walter Bright](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNJhtKPugSQ) Just browsing [dmd's source code](https://github.com/dlang/dmd/tree/master/src/dmd#readme) and watching [dmd's Pull Request queue](https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pulls) is a good way to get familiar with the code and see what a bug fix looks like. Try to start with something small, like error message improvements or [refactorings listed in the contributing guide](https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#dmd-best-practices). If you have any questions along the way, just ask them.
