RELEASE NOTES


[Product Information]

Hundreds of programming languages are in use today--scripting
languages for Internet commerce, user interface programming tools,
spreadsheet macros, page format specification languages, and many
others. Designing a programming language is a metaprogramming
activity that bears certain similarities to programming in a
regular language, with clarity and simplicity even more important
than in ordinary programming. This comprehensive text uses a simple
and concise framework to teach key ideas in programming language
design and implementation. The book's unique approach is based on a
family of syntactically simple pedagogical languages that allow
students to explore programming language concepts systematically.
It takes as its premise and starting point the idea that when
language behaviors become incredibly complex, the description of
the behaviors must be incredibly simple. The book presents a set
of tools (a mathematical metalanguage, abstract syntax, operational
and denotational semantics) and uses it to explore a comprehensive
set of programming language design dimensions, including dynamic
semantics (naming, state, control, data), static semantics (types,
type reconstruction, polymporphism, effects), and pragmatics
(compilation, garbage collection). The many examples and exercises
offer students opportunities to apply the foundational ideas
explained in the text. Specialized topics and code that implements
many of the algorithms and compilation methods in the book can be
found on the book's Web site, along with such additional material
as a section on concurrency and proofs of the theorems in the text.
The book is suitable as a text for an introductory graduate or
advanced undergraduate programming languages course; it can also
serve as a reference for researchers and practitioners.
