Programming Languages: Principles and ParadigmsAuthor(s): Maurizio Gabbrielli, Simone Martini, Saverio Giallorenzo\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Springer International Publishing AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer International Publishing AG\nISBN-13: 9783031341434, 978-3031341434\nSynopsis\nThis textbook is a thorough, up-to-date introduction to the principles and techniques that guide the design and implementation of modern programming languages. \n\nThe goal of the book is to provide the basis for a critical understanding of most modern programming languages. Thus, rather than focusing on a specific language, the book identifies the most important principles shared by large classes of languages. The notion of abstract machine is a unifying concept that helps to maintain an accurate and elementary treatment. The book introduces, analyses in depth, and compares the imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, concurrent, constraint-based, and service-oriented programming paradig.
