Comparative Programming Languages. Third Edition (International Computer Science Series) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

This new edition of " Comparative Programming Languages " has been brought fully up to date with new developments in the field : the increase in the use of object-oriented languages as a student's first language, the growth in importance of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), and the widespread use of the Internet. The book identifies and explains the essential concepts underlying the design and use of programming languages showing how the major languages handle issues such as declarations, types, data abstraction, information hiding, modularity and the support given to the development of reliable software systems. The emphasis is on the similarities between languages rather than their differences and the book covers modern widely-used object-oriented and procedural languages such as C, C ++, Java, Pascal (including its implementation in Delphi), Ada 95, and Perl with special chapters being devoted to functional and logic languages. Key features of the third edition include : the central position of object-oriented languages such as Java in line with modern teaching practice ; discussion of language support for graphic user interfaces and event-driven programs as well as the features needed to support concurrency and distributed programming over a network such as the Internet ; concise end-of-chapter summaries, numerous exercises, and many practical examples as well as detailed language references.
