Book Description

This book unites two approaches to teaching programming languages, one based on a survey of languages and the other on writing definitional interpreters. It has been used as a textbook at over fifteen institutions worldwide, and is referenced by non-academic users on the Web. The book is updated approximately every year. You can learn about the differences between versions, and get the accompanying software, from the book's Web site.

The main programming language used in this book is Racket.

• Shriram Krishnamurthi is a computer scientist, currently a professor of computer science at Brown University and a member of the core development group for the Racket programming languages, responsible for the creation of software packages including the Debugger, the FrTime package, and the networking library.

• 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 at a Glance (Andreas Hohmann)

  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.

• 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.
