Programming Languages: Principles and Practices (Advanced Topics)

I purchased the hard copy and kindle edition of this book. Unlike the reviews before me, I found the kindle edition to be the exact same as the hard copy. The code is readable and matches the hard copy. After reading the first 2 chapters, the book seems easy to understand and provides nice examples to facilitate comprehension.

The content could stand to be more specific to help the exercise problems not be so difficult

Its a really good book to read, a must buy!

Required book for class. One of my biggest complaints would be structure. IMO programming books should have above average structure. I should be able to got to the exact topic I want to learn, get the key points from a glance then dive into the material for things I still need clarity on. This book does not easily allow that. I also had issues with some of the prolog examples provided.

good

Very good book, easy to read and understand Programming Languages Concepts.

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.

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.
