You should learn a programming language every year, as recommended by The Pragmatic Programmer. But if one per year is good, how about Seven Languages in Seven Weeks? In this book you'll get a hands-on tour of Clojure, Haskell, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, and Ruby. Whether or not your favorite language is on that list, you'll broaden your perspective of programming by examining these languages side-by-side. You'll learn something new from each, and best of all, you'll learn how to learn a language quickly.
Klappentext zu „Seven Languages in Seven Weeks “
You should learn a programming language every year, as recommended by The Pragmatic Programmer. But if one per year is good, how about Seven Languages in Seven Weeks? In this book you'll get a hands-on tour of Clojure, Haskell, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, and Ruby. Whether or not your favorite language is on that list, you'll broaden your perspective of programming by examining these languages side-by-side. You'll learn something new from each, and best of all, you'll learn how to learn a language quickly. Ruby, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, Clojure, Haskell. With Seven Languages in Seven Weeks, by Bruce A. Tate, you'll go beyond the syntax-and beyond the 20-minute tutorial you'll find someplace online. This book has an audacious goal: to present a meaningful exploration of seven languages within a single book. Rather than serve as a complete reference or installation guide, Seven Languages hits what's essential and unique about each language. Moreover, this approach will help teach you how to grok new languages. For each language, you'll solve a nontrivial problem, using techniques that show off the language's most important features. As the book proceeds, you'll discover the strengths and weaknesses of the languages, while dissecting the process of learning languages quickly--for example, finding the typing and programming models, decision structures, and how you interact with them. Among this group of seven, you'll explore the most critical programming models of our time. Learn the dynamic typing that makes Ruby, Python, and Perl so flexible and compelling. Understand the underlying prototype system that's at the heart of JavaScript. See how pattern matching in Prolog shaped the development of Scala and Erlang. Discover how pure functional programming in Haskell is different from the Lisp family of languages, including Clojure. Explore the concurrency techniques that are quickly becoming the backbone of a new generation of Internet applications. Find out how to use

Erlang's let-it-crash philosophy for building fault-tolerant systems. Understand the actor model that drives concurrency design in Io and Scala. Learn how Clojure uses versioning to solve some of the most difficult concurrency problems. It's all here, all in one place. Use the concepts from one language to find creative solutions in another-or discover a language that may become one of your favorites.

Autoren-Porträt von Bruce A. Tate
Bruce A. Tate is a kayaker, mountain biker, and father of two. In his spare time, he is an independent consultant in Austin, Texas. In 2001, he founded J2Life, LLC, a consulting firm that specializes in Java persistence frameworks and lightweight development methods. His customers have included FedEx, Great West Life, TheServerSide, and BEA. He speaks at conferences and Java user's groups around the nation. Before striking out on his own, Bruce spent 13 years at IBM working on database technologies, object-oriented infrastructure, and Java. He was recruited away from IBM to help start the client services practice in an Austin startup called Pervado Systems. He later served a brief stint as CTO of IronGrid, which built nimble Java performance tools. Bruce is the author of four books, including the bestselling "Bitter Java", and the recently released Better, Faster, Lighter Java, from O'Reilly. First rule of kayak: When in doubt, paddle like Hell.

Rezension zu „Seven Languages in Seven Weeks “
"Keine Sprache wird vollständig vorgestellt. Vielmehr möchte der Autor Programmierparadigmen zeigen, die sich seiner Beobachtung nach etwa alle 20 Jahre ändern. [...] So liefert Tate eine Fülle von Informationen." - iX, 4/2011 "Aus den sieben Kapiteln Kapiteln nimmt der Leser nützliche Anregungen für seine Arbeit mit [...]. Schön, dass jemand den Mut hatte, dieses ungewöhnliche, isnpirierende Programmierbuch zu schreiben." - Linux Magazin, 05/2011 "Wer sich für Programmiersprachen und -paradigmen interessiert, für den ist das Buch eine unbedingte Empfehlung." - freiesMagazin, 07/2011 "Zusammenfassend kann gesagt werden, dass 'Seven Languages in Seven Weeks' eine andere Art von IT-Literatur ist, mit einem frischen Ansatz. Der Autor erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit, trotzdem geht das Buch in gewisser Hinsicht weiter als viele andere Bücher zu Programmiersprachen. Wer sich für Programmiersprachen und -paradigmen interessiert, für den ist das Buch eine unbedingte Empfehlung." - freiesmagazin.de, Juli 2011
