Advanced Topics in Types and Programming Languages (The MIT Press) 1st Edition by Benjamin C. Pierce (PDF)

Description

A thorough and accessible introduction to a range of key ideas in type systems for programming language.The study of type systems for programming languages now touches many areas of computer science, from language design and implementation to software engineering, network security, databases, and analysis of concurrent and distributed systems. This book offers accessible introductions to key ideas in the field, with contributions by experts on each topic.The topics covered include precise type analyses, which extend simple type systems to give them a better grip on the run time behavior of systems; type systems for low-level languages; applications of types to reasoning about computer programs; type theory as a framework for the design of sophisticated module systems; and advanced techniques in ML-style type inference.Advanced Topics in Types and Programming Languages builds on Benjamin Pierce’s Types and Programming Languages (MIT Press, 2002); most of the chapters should be accessible to readers familiar with basic notations and techniques of operational semantics and type systems—the material covered in the first half of the earlier book.Advanced Topics in Types and Programming Languages can be used in the classroom and as a resource for professionals. Most chapters include exercises, ranging in difficulty from quick comprehension checks to challenging extensions, many with solutions.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review Programming languages need not be designed in an intellectual vacuum; John Mitchell’s book provides an extensive analysis of the fundamental notions underlying programming constructs. A basic grasp of this material is essential for the understanding, comparative analysis, and design of programming languages.―Luca Cardelli, Digital Equipment Corporation About the Author Benjamin C. Pierce is Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book, like its predecessor, TAPL, is a mandatory text for anyone doing research in programming languages. The chapters are each written by key researchers associated with the topics presented. As many of these topics do not have introductory treatment in the research literature or any other books, these chapters are often the best place to learn about these topics — all of which appear frequently in modern PL research.

⭐If you want to get into the dependently typed camp and understand its power then you need this book to help you on the path.

⭐As far as I can tell, nobody in the universe talks about the technical details behind linear types and row polymorphism. Except for this book. It also talks about a lot of other stuff.
