scripting language

[sujitnag]

is there any good book/ online tutorial, how to built a scripting language?

A course in compiler construction would help a lot here.

Well, there are many online tutorials out there if you want, but it depends on what exactly are you after. Are you wanting to make something interpreted close to python? Either way i would suggest looking up on how to make a lexer online to start you off.
