Essentials of Programming Languages
second edition
Daniel P. Friedman, Mitchell Wand, and Christopher T. Haynes


This textbook offers a deep understanding of the essential concepts of
programming languages. The approach is analytic and hands-on. The text
uses interpreters, written in Scheme, to express the semantics of many
essential language elements in a way that is both clear and directly
executable. It also examines some important program
analyses. Extensive exercises explore many design and implementation
alternatives.


Daniel P. Friedman is Professor and Christopher T. Haynes is Associate
Professor of Computer Science at Indiana University. Mitchell Wand is
Professor of Computer Science at Northeastern University. Friedman is
the coauthor of A Little Java, A Few Patterns (MIT Press, 1998), The
Little MLer (MIT Press, 1998), The Little Schemer (MIT Press, fourth
edition, 1996), and The Seasoned Schemer (MIT Press, 1996).
