Well - not intentionally, and for the cognoscenti formal presentations
can often be translated to a high-level language like Haskell more
easily than say pseudo code; but if you don't have much prior
experience I'd think something at the Dragon Book's level would be
quite demanding.

Myself, I bought the Grune et al. book after getting stranded with the
Dragon Book. Working through the Grune made reading the Dragon Book a
lot more accessible.
