Programming Languages - Concepts and Implementation 1st edition by Perugini

Programming Languages: Concepts and Implementation, 1st edition by Perugini, introduces the major ideas behind how programming languages are designed, evaluated, and executed. Published by Jones & Bartlett Learning, the text explores syntax, semantics, data types, control structures, abstraction, functional and object-oriented paradigms, and implementation issues. It is suited for computer science and information technology students who need more than language-specific syntax. By connecting theory with examples, the book helps readers compare language features, understand tradeoffs, and build a stronger foundation for writing, analyzing, and learning programming languages.
