Description for Programming Languages: Principles and Paradigms
Paperback. Programming Languages is a self-contained approach to the topic, and differentiates between the design, implementation and pragmatic aspects of programming languages overall. The main programming paradigms are presented, in a straightforward way. Series: Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science. Num Pages: 440 pages, biography. BIC Classification: UM. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 157 x 24. Weight in Grams: 696.
This excellent addition to the UTiCS series of undergraduate textbooks provides a detailed and up to date description of the main principles behind the design and implementation of modern programming languages. Rather than focusing on a specific language, the book identifies the most important principles shared by large classes of languages. To complete this general approach, detailed descriptions of the main programming paradigms, namely imperative, object-oriented, functional and logic are given, analysed in depth and compared. This provides the basis for a critical understanding of most of the programming languages. ... Read more

Reviews for Programming Languages: Principles and Paradigms
From the reviews: This undergraduate textbook on the principles of programming languages has many commendable aspects. It is grounded on sound principles of computing, with machines taking a central role. The authors use activation stacks and other machine-level abstractions to explain many complex ideas
such as scopes and evaluation mechanisms
in concrete terms. Furthermore, many aspects of C++, ... Read more
