Book Description
Kenneth Louden and Kenneth Lambert's new edition of PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE, 3E gives advanced undergraduate students an overview of programming languages through general principles combined with details about many modern languages. Major languages used in this edition include C, C++, Smalltalk, Java, Ada, ML, Haskell, Scheme, and Prolog; many other languages are discussed more briefly. The text also contains extensive coverage of implementation issues, the theoretical foundations of programming languages, and a large number of exercises, making it the perfect bridge to compiler courses and to the theoretical study of programming languages.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy the Kindle edition, October 30, 2011
By 
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought the Kindle edition of this textbook, both to save money and to save lugging around another large book. The code samples did not translate well into the Kindle edition, and most of them appear as paragraphs of text, with the lines all run together. This, as you probably know, is a really unreadable way to understand code. Save yourself the trouble and buy the paper edition until this can be fixed.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, December 8, 2013

This review is from: Programming Languages: Principles and Practices (Hardcover)
Required textbook for school. Probably wouldn't have read it if is wasn't required reading material. Read it if you have nothing else on the shelf.

1.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Edition code examples are rubbish., December 5, 2011
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I purchased this book on Kindle for a class in programming languages this semester and it was marginally useful to get an idea what I would be responsible for (so that I could then read about the topics in a different source). *Specifically in the Kindle version: The code examples are completely unreadable since there are no carriage returns, spaces, or other style/formatting that a human generally expects when reading code. In addition to the jumbled code examples, there are lot of typographical errors in this book. I don't recommend it. I have looked at a few different printed versions, and they have the same typos.
