Description

Programming Languages: An Active Learning Approach introduces students to three programming paradigms: object-oriented/imperative languages using C++ and Ruby, functional languages using Standard ML, and logic programming using Prolog.

This interactive textbook is intended to be used in and outside of class.

Each chapter follows a pattern of presenting a topic followed by a practice exercise or exercises that encourage students to try what they have just read.

This textbook is best-suited for students with a 2-3 course introduction to imperative programming. Key Features: (1) Accessible structure guides the student through various programming languages. (2) Seamlessly integrated practice exercises. (3) Classroom-tested. (4) Online support materials. Advance praise: “The Programming Languages book market is overflowing with books, but none like this.

In many ways, it is precisely the book I have been searching for to use in my own programming languages course.

One of the main challenges I perpetually face is how to teach students to program in functional and logical languages, but also how to teach them about compilers.

This book melds the two approaches very well.” -- David Musicant, Carleton College
