Concepts of Programming Languages (7th Edition)

Description

A good book on the design of programming languages
This is not a survey of popular programming languages. Instead, it is a book on the design of programming languages. Of course, the book incorporates a good bit of the history of programming languages as a context for studying the languages of today, so you will see a good deal about languages that for all intents and purposes no longer exist - ALGOL, PL/1, and Simula 67, among others. However, these languages and their design form the basis of modern programming languages. What you’ll walk away with after reading this book is a feel for why there are so many programming languages and why they were developed, similarities and differences between programming languages, what is a logical versus a functional versus an imperative programming language, and probably most importantly the decisions and constructs involved in programming language design.

Although this is a good academic textbook on programming languages, I do take exception to the rapidity of new editions. Since 1998, and including the eighth edition that is due in 2007, there have been 5 new editions to this book. I feel that this is taking the idea of publish or perish to the extreme, especially when you note that there are only eight more pages in the planned new eighth edition than there are in the seventh edition. This constant stream of needless new editions is excessively hard on the average student’s budget. The following is the table of contents:

1. Preliminaries.
2. Evolution of the Major Programming Languages.
3. Describing Syntax and Semantics.
4. Lexical and Syntax Analysis.
5. Names, Binding, Type Checking, and Scopes.
6. Data Types.
7. Expressions and Assignment Statements.
8. Statement-Level Control Structure.
9. Subprograms.
10. Implementing Subprograms.
11. Abstract Data Types.
12. Support for Object-Oriented Programming.
13. Concurrency.
14. Exception Handling and Event Handling.
15. Functional Programming Languages.
16. Logic Programming Languages.
