Programming Languages: Concepts and Implementation

Capture the heart of language design and build the tools that power modern software with Programming Languages: Concepts and Implementation by Saverio Perugini. This clear, authoritative work guides readers from core theory to practical implementation, making complex topics accessible to both students and practicing developers.

Start with a compelling overview of programming paradigms—imperative, functional, object-oriented, and logic—and move smoothly into concrete techniques for parsing, semantics, and runtime behavior. Perugini balances formal foundations with hands-on insights, explaining type systems, memory management, concurrency, and optimization strategies in a way that prepares you to design interpreters and compilers or to evaluate and choose languages for real projects.

Ideal for computer science students, language designers, and software engineers, this book emphasizes applied learning through illustrative examples and thought-provoking problems. You’ll gain a working understanding of how language features map to implementation choices and runtime trade-offs—a skill set that’s highly relevant for careers in systems, tooling, and high-performance applications.

Globally relevant and technologically current, this title serves as a course text or a professional reference for readers in the US, UK, Europe, India and beyond. Whether you’re building a new language, improving a compiler, or deepening your theoretical background, Perugini’s balanced approach delivers clarity and confidence.
