  1. In computing, we usually take a technical view of program-ming languages (PL), defining them as formal means of specifying a computer behavior. This view shapes much of the research that we do on PL, determining the questions we ask about them, the improvements we make to them, and how we teach people to use them.

  2. The goal of this course, then, is to stop taking programming languages for granted; to go deeper, from users of programming languages to understanding the design and implementation of these languages.

  3. This book describes the fundamental concepts of programming languages by discussing the design issues of the various language constructs, examining the design choices for these constructs in some of the most common languages, and critically comparing design alternatives. Any serious study of programming languages requires an examination of

  5. Definition: A programming language is a notational system for describing computation in machine-readable and human-readable form. We will discuss the three key concepts in this definition.

  6. programming (Prolog) languages in the hope of convincing the student that imperative languages are not conceptual necessities for programming. The theory of programming language syntax and semantics is beyond the scope of this text. These important subjects are best left to more advanced courses.
