Programming Language Pragmatics provides a more accessible introduct to many of the key topics than the classic Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools by Aho et al. (a.k.a. the ?. Dragon Book?). Topics are often independent of previously presented material, making it easier to pick and choose areas for study. Product DescriptProgramming Language Pragmatics, Third Edit, is the most comprehensive programming language book available today. Taking the perspective that language design and implementat are tightly interconnected and that neither can be fully understood in isolat, this critically acclaimed and bestselling book has been thoroughly updated to cover the most recent developments in programming language design, inclouding Java 6 and 7, C?, C# 3.0, F#, Fortran 2003 and 2008, Ada 2005, and Scheme R6RS.A new chapter on run-time program management covers virtual machines, managed code, just-in-time and dynamic compilat, reflect, binary translat and rewriting, mobile code, sandboxing, and debugging and program analysis tools. Over 800 numbered examples are provided to help the reader quickly cross-reference and access content.This text is designed for undergraduate Computer Science students, programmers, and systems and softe engineers.ReviewThis book is a key resource for any computer science student and is certainly faithful to its title - Programming Language Pragmatics?. The updated third edit of this popular book delivers the key concepts of programming languages and their implementat in a concise and intuitive way, illustrated with clear explanats and examples?. In addit to the coverage of tradital language topics, Scott?s book delves into the sometimes , but essential, details of programming artifacts. The descripts of language theory, along with concrete implementats of how to realise them, are invariably presented in a language-agnostic fash. And therein lies the strength of this book: whilst the main examples have been updated (with C and Intel x86 replacing Pascal and MIPS), it provides an organisatal framework for learning new languages, irrespective of the paradigm?. Programming Language Pragmatics provides a more accessible introduct to many of the key topics than the classic Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools by Aho et al. (a.k.a. the ?Dragon Book?) and provides a deep appreciat of the design and implementat issues of modern languages?. The material is aimed at an undergraduate computer science level, but is also suitable for self-study. Topics are often independent of previously presented material, making it easier to pick and choose areas for study. This is also supported by addital in-depth material and advanced discuss topics on the compan CD?. In summary, this new edit provides both students and professals alike a solid understanding of the most important issues driving softe development today - an essential purchase for any serious programmer or computer scientist!--BCS.comFrom the Back CoverProgramming Language Pragmatics is the most comprehensive programming language book available today.
