Product Description

Product Description
Comparative Programming Languages identifies and explains the essential concepts underlying the design and use of programming languages and provides a good balance of theory and practice. The author compares 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. The book primarily 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. The new edition 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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Unimpressed, 16 Nov 2008
By Andrew Rouse (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book gives a good overview of the history of programming languages and gives some background to features found in both current and outdated languages.

Unfortunately the content is put forward in a very dull way and is interspersed with the authors opinionated comments. I also noticed a couple of mistakes when the book went into detail about one of the languages I am familiar with.

Unless this particular book is required for your course, you can probably find something better.
