Concepts Techniques And Models Of Computer Programming

Información del producto

Peter Van Roy - This Innovative Text Presents Computer Programming as Unified Discipline in a Way That Is Both Practical And Scientifically Sound. The Book Focuses on Techniques of Lasting Value And Explains Them Precisely in Terms of a Simple Abstract Machine. The Book Presents All Major Programming Paradigms in a Uniform Framework That Shows Their Deep Relationships And How And Where to Use Them Together. After An Introduction to Programming Concepts; The Book Presents Both Wellknown And Lesserknown Computation Models (Programming Paradigms). Each Model Has Its Own Set of Techniques And Each Is Included on The Basis of Its Usefulness in Practice. The General Models Include Declarative Programming; Declarative Concurrency; Message-Passing Concurrency; Explicit State; Objectoriented Programming; Shared-State Concurrency; And Relational Programming. Specialized Models Include Graphical User Interface Programming; Distributed Programming; And Constraint Programming. Each Model Is Based on Its Kernel Language a Simple Core Language That Consists of a Small Number of Programmer Significant Elements. The Kernel Languages Are Introduced Progressively; Adding Concepts One By One; Thus Showing The Deep Relationships Between Different Models. The Kernel Languages Are Defined Precisely in Terms of a Simple Abstract Machine. Because a Wide Variety of Languages And Programming Paradigms Can Be Modeled By Small Set of Closely Related Kernel Languages. ISBN: 9780262220699
