Ada distilled: Introduction for experienced programmers

Volume II of The Handbook of Programming Languages covers four important Imperative Languages: FORTRAN 95, C, Turbo Pascal, and Icon. FORTRAN was the first of the major programming languages; Wait Brainerd, has been active where FORTRAN 77, FORTRAN 90 and, now, FORTRAN 95 are concerned This volume also features an essay on its history and development of C by its creator, Dennis Ritchie. Computing pioneer Ralph Griswold, the creator of Icon, has contributed a foundation for both the philosophy behind and the use of the language. Ron Cytron writes a unique essay on Intermediate Languages and Series Editor-in-Chief, Peter H. Salus provides a foreword on the development of computer languages. The material about the languages themselves will enable the reader to evaluate which is most suitable for the task at hand. -- Wait Brainerd on FORTRAN -- Dennis Ritchie, creator of C -- Steve Summitt's work on programming in C -- Glenn Grotzinger on Turbo Pascal -- Ralph Griswold, creator of Icon This handbook covers functional, concurrent and logic programming languages. There are chapters on Emacs LISP, Scheme, Guile, CLOS and Prolog. For each language, information on history, syntax, variables, tips and traps is provided.
