For a Really Excellent step by step guide to backend code generation,
you can't beat
"Understanding and Writing Compilers: A Do It Yourself Guide" (ISBN
0333217322) by Richard Bornat.
Although it uses a sort of BCPL pseudocode for its examples, this book
all but writes the code for you. I have had no trouble in translating
the code into QBASIC. I can't speak too highly of it when it comes to
explaining code generation.
