how do i wrote interpreter?

I want to implement a scripting language in my project.

I don't want to use Lua, even though it's the easiest way I know how.  Instead, I want to write my own scripting language interpreter into my program.

I've a B.S. degree in Computer Science so I know most of the fundamentals, but not the advanced practicalities.  For example, I can probably write up a formal grammar for whatever scripting language I wish to use -- but ... then what?  How do I apply that knowledge, to what I wish to do?

Any good sources on this subject that isn't targeted towards Ph.Ds with Masters Degrees, but good enough for someone with a B.S. degree level of education?

Lua is best suited to small-scale event scripting -- it CANNOT do everything C's or LISP's built-in standard syntax can unless you import runtime libraries into your program (written in C).  Something as simple as re-writing the Mersenne Twister algorithm, ended up a syntactic nightmare.
