Concepts of Programming Languages (11th Edition)

For courses in computer programming.

Evaluating the Fundamentals of Computer Programming Languages 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 readers 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The Eleventh Edition maintains an up-to-date discussion on the topic with the removal of outdated languages such as Ada and Fortran.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 programmers the essential differences between computing with specific languages.

This is one of the most lacking textbooks I have read. It provides 6 examples of binding time: language design time, language implementation time, compile time, load time, link time, or run time.

Next it provides examples for 3 of them. Next, it provides another example for the same 3. Then it says a complete understanding of the binding times is a prerequisite for understanding semantics of a programming language. This is the only time in the book where these concepts are mentioned.

Extrapolate this incompleteness to the entire textbook.

thanks for reading
