Does anyone have a good tutorial on the concepts of LL and LR parsing that's accessibly-written, available at zero-cost online, and doesn't assume more than an intro data-structures level of CS knowledge? I've got some students I need to impart some background information to, and the Wikipedia articles are ... unhelpful.
