Book Description

This book tries to explain a number of programming languages, covering a wide range from currently popular ones such as Java, Perl, Python, and C# to less known languages such as ML, Haskell.

There is one key requirement: the language has to be available for free (or otherwise I could not afford writing this book). We don’t expect a full blown IDE; a good set of command line tools is just as fine. Fortunately, this requirement is fulfilled by most languages these days, since they don’t stand a chance otherwise. In many cases, even a free IDE is available (e.g., Eclipse for Java or Smalltalk/X)

• Data, Syntax and Semantics: Modelling Programming Languages

  This book is an introduction to the mathematical theory of programming languages. It is in tended to provide a first course, one that is suitable for all university students of Computer Science to take early in their education.

• Practical Foundations for Programming Languages (Robert Harper)

  An excellent introduction to a wide range of programming language concepts. They are all uniformly and carefully explained, using techniques that are very useful in practice for both analysis and implementation of programming languages.

• Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation

  This book unites two approaches to teaching programming languages, one based on a survey of languages and the other on writing definitional interpreters. The main programming language used in this book is Racket.

• Anatomy of Programming Languages (William R. Cook)

  This book is a series of notes about programming languages, originally written for students of the undergraduate programming languages course. It uses Haskell, a pure functional language.

• Advanced Programming Language Design (Raphael Finkel)

  The goal of this book, is to expose first-year graduate students to a wide range of programming language paradigms and issues, so that they can understand the literature on programming languages and even conduct research in this field.

• Implementing Programming Languages: Compilers and Interpreters

  This book follows a theory-based practical approach, where theoretical models serve as blueprint for actual coding. The reader is guided to build compilers and interpreters in a well-understood and scalable way.

• Programming and Programming Languages (Shriram Krishnamurthi)

  It's basically two books in one, integrated. One book is an introduction to programming, teaching you basic concepts of organizing data and the programs that operate over them. The other book is an introduction to programming languages.

• Introduction to Compilers and Language Design (Douglas Thain)

  This book offers a one semester introduction into compiler construction, enabling the reader to build a simple compiler that accepts a C-like language and translates it into working X86 or ARM assembly language.

• Exploring Programming Language Architecture in Perl (Bill Hails)

  This book presents an informal and friendly introduction to some of the core ideas in modern computer science, using the programming language Perl as its vehicle.
