Looking for resources on interpreter design

[solidstate1991]

I decided to make my college thesis on creating a BASIC 
interpreter in D for scripting, command line, and other purposes. 
However, I have an issue with finding resources, meaning that I 
couldn't work on it yet since I cannot cite anything.

Can anyone help me? It doesn't need to be for D since I 
understand many other programming languages (and I bet there's a 
massive lack of literature about D), but I do have budget 
restrictions, so I cannot buy expensive books. Also I would like 
to have something also on BASIC.
