Programming Language

Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation

This page is for the first edition of the book. I have since completely rewritten the book from scratch. Though the general principles underlying this book remain the same, the new book has better prose, updated material, a somewhat different (and better) technical presentation, and fewer pages.
The second edition is available online, and I update it frequently.
HTML
PDF The PDF version is still a bit rough, and needs more attention to formatting. I will attend to that after I'm done writing the content.
Because my focus is on this new edition, I am requesting that you not send me bug reports about the current edition. Of course, questions and technical comments are always welcome.

Please see my brief essay about the educational philosophy behind this book. In particular, I discuss why this is a much more appropriate book for a modern programming languages course than a traditional one based on “paradigms”.
At present, I am aware of 52 universities (and some high-schools) that have used part or all of the book. Users range from major research universities to liberal arts colleges, from public to private universities, and cover four continents.
If you're an educator (teaching at a University, College, High School, Grammar School, Hochschule, Gymnasium, etc.), please let me know!
