Concepts of Programming Languages, Global Edition

11th Edition. — Pearson Education, 2016. — 792 p. — ISBN: 978-1-292-10055-5.**__Concepts of Computer Programming Languages__ introduces students to the fundamental concepts of computer programming languages and provides them with the tools necessary to evaluate contemporary and future languages.** An in-depth discussion of programming language structures, such as syntax and lexical and syntactic analysis, also prepares students to study compiler design. The __Eleventh Edition__ maintains an up-to-date discussion on the topic with the removal of outdated languages such as Ada and Fortran. The addition of relevant new topics and examples such as reflection and exception handling in Python and Ruby add to the currency of the text. Through a critical analysis of design issues of various program languages, __Concepts of Computer Programming Languages__ teaches students the essential differences between computing with specific languages.

The goals, overall structure, and approach of this eleventh edition of Concepts of Programming Languages remain the same as those of the ten earlier editions. The principal goals are to introduce the fundamental constructs of contemporary programming languages and to provide the reader with the tools necessary for the critical evaluation of existing and future programming languages. A secondary goal is to prepare the reader for the study of compiler design, by providing an in-depth discussion of programming language structures, presenting a formal method of describing syntax, and introducing approaches to lexical and syntactic analysis This title introduces students to the main constructs of contemporary programming languages and provides the tools necessary to critically evaluate existing and future programming languages
