Disclaimer Shroff Publishers do not endorse the preview pages of kindle linked to our ISBNs. All Indian Reprints of Franklin, Beedle & Associates Inc are Printed in Gray scale.This book introduces the concepts of diverse programming languages for students who have already mastered basic programming in at least one language. It is suitable for use in an undergraduate course for computer science and computer engineering majors. It treats all the knowledge units in the area of programming languages that appear in the ACMs Computer Science Curriculum 2008, and introduces the core units thoroughly. It gives programming exercises in three different language paradigms. Philosophically, it is in complete agreement with the ACM report.This book has two distinct kinds of chapters: practical and theoretical. The practical chapters are self-contained primers in three very different programming languages ML, Java, and Prologat least two of which will be new languages for almost all students at this level. Students receive a quick introduction to the linguistically unique parts of each language and enough simple programming exercises to develop a feel for the programming paradigm of the language. There are excellent free implementations of all these languages available on a variety of platforms, including Windows, Unix, and Macintosh; the books Web site at www(dot) webber-labs(dot)com(/)mpl(dot)html has instructions on how to get them.The theoretical chapters present the underlying principles of programming languages. They are interleaved with the practical chapters in an order that allows ideas to be illustrated using examples in the newly learned languages and allows theoretical topics to be covered when their relevance to programming practice will be most evident.
