I put some slides I used on my webpage.

You can use them. However, they are just a bunch and only about specific 
topics. No general compiler introduction. Furthermore, we did have a lot 
of interactive discussions, so without having attended the class they 
may be difficult to understand.

It would be great to create a svn branch to share slides for such a course.
