Why'd you want to learn writing parsers with yacc? bison basically implements 
everything that yacc does/did in pretty much the same way, so start your 
learning with bison straight away.

In case you're looking for a book, I can only recommend "Lex and Yacc" from 
O'Reilly in case you're just trying to get a grasp on how to use them for 
your normal programming chores (besides writing interpreters and compilers); 
in case you're looking for a more in-depth introduction to computer 
programming language interpreters and compilers, machine and language design 
in general, the "Dragon Book" (actually called "Compilers: Principles, 
Techniques and Tools") by Addison-Wesley should get you on the right track.

HTH!
