The fifth edition of Concepts of Programming Languages by Robert
Sebesta continues the approach that has made it the undisputed market
leader. It describes fundamental concepts of programming languages by
presenting design issues of the various language constructs, examining
the design choices for these constructs in a few common languages, and
critically comparing the design alternatives. This book allows those
with the ability to program to learn how to choose appropriate languages
for certain tasks, increase their abilities to learn new languages, and
understand the significance of implementation. It illustrates various
language constructs and design alternatives through Java, JavaScript,
C++, C, Ada, and Fortran, and intertwines discussions of object-oriented
programming material with the discussions of the non-OO imperative
languages. It also provides extensive material on semantics. This new
edition is updated to include a new chapter covering parsing, new
material on JavaScript, and updated material on Java 1.3. This book is
suitable for programmers who want to get into the theory behind
programming-language development and utilization.
