Essentials of Programming Languages (9780262560672)



What really happens when a program runs? "Essentials of Programming Languages" teaches the fundamental concepts of programming languages through numerous short programs, or "interpreters" that actually implement the features of a language. Nearly 300 exercises using these programs provide a hands-on undertanding of programming principles that is hard, if not impossible, to achieve by formal study alone. In an approach that is uniquely suited to mastering a new level of programming structure, the authors derive a sequence of interpreters that begins with a high-level operational specification (close to formal semantics) and ends with what is effectively assembly language - a process involving programming transformation techniques that should be in the toolbox of every programmer. The first four chapters provide that foundation for an in-depth study of programming languages, including most of the features of Scheme, needed to run the language-processing programs of the book. The next four chapters form the core of the book, deriving a sequence of interpreters ranging from very high- to very low-level.
The authors then explore variations in programming language semantics, including various parameter-passing techniques for transforming interpreters that ultimately allow the interpreter to be implemented in any low-level language. They conclude by discussing scanners and parsers and the derivation of a compiler and virtual machine from an interpreter.

El circo del desaliento (9788496815469)

El circo del desaliento es la primera novela gráfica reflejo de una sólida trayectoria ya como dibujante de David Rubín, punta de lanza de una nueva hornada de creadores gallegos. Con prólogo y epílogo de Miguelanxo Prado y Carlos Portela, respectivamente, abre el volumen "Donde nadie puede llegar", una intensa historia larga e inédita, que tiene continuación en una serie de relatos cortos realizados para la ocasión, junto con otros ya prepublicados en distintas revistas. Rubín se apoya en el personaje del superhéroe para desarrollar unas historias que beben de sus preocupaciones y de sus personales experiencias, donde está muy presente la poética del perdedor tamizada en ocasiones por cierto optimismo vital que deja algún hueco a la esperanza. "Rubín maneja acertadamente los cambios de velocidad de la narración, sabe pausarla cuando no tiene sentido que sea trepidante, y sabe acelerarla cuando es necesario. Y sabe hacer callar a los personajes y dejarnos oír lo que no e...
