Buy the Red Dragon which can be obtained at fatbrain and PM gets a cut too.

It is an excellent introduction into grammers lexing, parsing, regexes, finite automata. Hmm, to be honest IMO it is one of the most interesting and generally informative comp sci books I have read. Definately worth the money to buy and read. And yes I know you said online material, but I seriously doubt you will find anything online that is of as high a quality and usefulness as this book.

Update
Doh! Mirod already suggested this and I didnt even notice. Well, two recommendations for a book this good is probably not such a bad thing.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
