An Introduction to Programming Languages: Synthesis Lectures on Computer Science

Autor Paul A. Gagniuc
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 aug 2026
This book presents a unique comparative framework that teaches programming through parallel exposure to multiple languages. Rather than focusing on a single syntax, this book reveals the universal principles underlying modern software development by examining mirrored implementations across thirteen programming environments, including C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Ruby, Visual Basic, VBA, Rust, Go, Ada, and Perl. This Second Edition expands the comparative model with new chapters on runtime behavior, memory models, concurrency, error handling, security, browser environments, and programming in the age of artificial intelligence. Through carefully structured examples and conceptual discussions, the author connects the evolution of computing with the practical realities of modern software engineering. Designed for students, researchers, engineers, and educators, the book develops cross-language competence, conceptual clarity, and adaptability to rapidly evolving technological environments.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

After a short introduction on the history of programming languages, this book provides step-by-step examples that are mirrored in seven programming languages, including C#, C++, Java, JavaScript, PERL, PHP, Python, Ruby, VB, and VBA. This mirrored approach for each of the examples represents the main feature of the book with the goal of gaining a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of programming and scripting languages. This approach also allows readers to learn the mechanics of short implementations and the algorithms involved, no matter what technology and programs are used in the future. Based on the growing need for programmers to be proficient across languages, the book is designed in such a way that no prior training or exposure to the programming languages is needed by readers.

In addition, this book:

  • Provides step-by-step examples in programming languages, including Javascript, C++, Python, etc.
  • Presents concepts that are accessible to an introductory audience
  • Includes numerous examples throughout to facilitate learning and has been class tested for over 6 years
