Publisher Synopsis
"This book is an excellent, systematic exploration of ideas and techniques in programming language theory. The book carefully, but without wasting time on extraneous complications, explains operational and denotational semantic techniques, and their application to many aspects of programming language design. It will be of great value for graduate courses and for self study." --Gary T. Leavens, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Central Florida "There is a paucity of good graduate-level textbooks on the foundations of programming languages, no more than four or five in the last two decades. Nothing to compare with the profusion of excellent texts in the other core areas of computer science, such as algorithms or operating systems. This new textbook by Franklyn Turbak, David Gifford, and Mark Sheldon--comprehensive, thorough, pedagogically innovative, impeccably written and organized--greatly enriches the area of programming languages and will be an important reference for years to come." --Assaf Kfoury, Department of Computer Science, Boston University Read more...
