Programming Language Design and Implementation
ስለዚህ ኢ-መጽሐፍ
The text aims to provide readers with an overview of the design space for programming languages and how design choices affect implementation. It is not a classical compilers book, as it assumes the reader is familiar with basic compiler implementation techniques; nor is it a traditional comparative programming languages book, because it does not go into depth about any particular language, instead taking examples from a wide variety of programming languages to illustrate design concepts. Readers are assumed to already have done at least a bit of programming in functional, imperative, and object-oriented languages.
Topics and features:
- Provides topic-by-topic coverage of syntax, types, scopes, memory management and more
- Includes many technical exercises and discussion exercises
- Inspires readers to think about language design choices, how these interact, and how they can be implemented
- Covers advanced topics such as formal semantics and limits of computation
Suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduates, this highly practical and useful textbook/guide will also offer programming language professionals a superb reference and learning toolkit.
