Let's Build a Compiler
A port of the tutorial's code to C which emits x86 assembly:

How does the compiler execute the C language?
There is also a tutorial called ’lets build a compiler' by Jack Crenshaw. Somebody put a version in C on GitHub: https://github.com/lotabout/Let-s-build-a-compiler

ESLint: under the hood
Now, those concepts are a whole entire world to explore, and this is out of the scope of this article. I suggest the reading of the Chapters 4, 5 and 6 of the book Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom for a wider (but still practical) understanding of those subjects. Another practical great resource to look at is The SuperTiny Compiler. To explore them from a theorical point of view, you can find A LOT of resources from books or courses online.

GCC uses GCC to compile itself
I am currently writing a much more intricate version of the Super Tiny Compiler (https://github.com/jamiebuilds/the-super-tiny-compiler) in Rust, only I plan on handling many basic operations, essentially a compiler for a MUCH simpler version of Go. Great project idea btw, for anyone who wants to explore compilers. But in doing so, have really found a new respect for just what is going on when you gcc -o garbageprogram mytrashcode.c

how would you make a programming language if you were a complete beginner?
Here, at least take this floatie: https://github.com/jamiebuilds/the-super-tiny-compiler

Any good resources for reading code?
Outside of this, I recently learned about The Super Tiny Compiler which was a project written to be read. Mind you, it has a vast amount of comments, which may be more of a leg-up than you're asking for.

Ask HN: Guidance on writing a source to source compiler (transpiler)
You could start here:
https://github.com/jamiebuilds/the-super-tiny-compiler
That converts from lisp-like to javascript. Really though this is a big field, and there are lots of resources out there.
To get started look at your input language; you'll need to lex and parse that. Then massage the parsed structure into the appropriate output.
You can see me convert brainfuck to C, or x86 assembly language here:
