Read Grady Booch.

Allen I. Holub, 'Compiler Design in C'. Best I've ever found. And the
dragon book, of course, the author of which eludes me; was it Aho?

I'm completely lost on both topics, unfortunately.

Holub's book covers this pretty well.
> Memory management (perhaps)
Memory management is simple. Ask for it when you need it; make sure you
have it before you use it; return it when you're done; and don't try to
use it after it's been returned. Easy. That's pretty much it. If you're
interested in the real low levels, I read a rather detailed treatment of
it in a book on designing operating systems, but I forget the name of
it... so check around for books on operating system design, I guess. And
there was a book called 'The Zen of Code Optimisation' which had some
tips in it.
