SummaryTable of Contents
This market leader now offers coverage of Java "TM" support for object-oriented programming, concurrency, and exception handling. It also features object-oriented programming more prominently throughout and provides expanded material on semantics. As in previous editions, Bob Sebesta describes fundamental concepts of programming languages by defining the design issues of the various language constructs, examining the design choices for these constructs in some of the most common languages, and critically comparing the design alternatives.
