Programming Languages: Principles and Paradigms, 2/e (Paperback)

Tucker and Noonan's new approach emphasizes a thorough, hands-on treatment of key issues in programming language design, providing a balanced mix of explanation and experimentation. Opening chapters present the fundamental principals of programming languages, while optional companion chapters provide implementation-based, hands-on experience that delves even deeper. This edition also includes a greatly expanded treatment of the four major programming paradigms, incorporating a number of the most current languages such as Perl and Python. Special topics presented include event-handling, concurrency, and an all-new chapter on correctness. Overall, this edition provides both broad and deep coverage of language design principles and the major paradigms, allowing users the flexibility of choosing what topics to emphasize.

Tucker和Noonan的新方法強調對程式語言設計中關鍵問題的全面、實踐性處理，提供了解釋和實驗的平衡組合。開頭章節介紹了程式語言的基本原則，而可選的附屬章節則提供了基於實作的實踐經驗，更深入地探討了這些原則。本版本還大幅擴展了對四種主要程式設計範式的介紹，並納入了一些最新的語言，如Perl和Python。特別介紹的主題包括事件處理、並發性，以及一個全新的關於正確性的章節。總的來說，本版本廣泛而深入地涵蓋了語言設計原則和主要範式，讓使用者有彈性選擇強調哪些主題。
