The study of type systems for programming languages now touches many areas of computer science, from language design and implementation to software engineering, network security, databases, and analysis of concurrent and distributed systems. This book offers accessible introductions to key ideas in the field, with contributions by experts on each topic. The topics covered include precise type analyses, which extend simple type systems to give them a better grip on the run time behavior of systems; type systems for low-level languages; applications of types to reasoning about computer programs; type theory as a framework for the design of sophisticated module systems; and advanced techniques in ML-style type inference. Advanced Topics in Types and Programming Languages builds on Benjamin Pierce's Types and Programming Languages (MIT Press, 2002); most of the chapters should be accessible to readers familiar with basic notations and techniques of operational semantics and type systems — the material covered in the first half of the earlier book. Advanced Topics in Types and Programming Languages can be used in the classroom and as a resource for professionals. Most chapters include exercises, ranging in difficulty from quick comprehension checks to challenging extensions, many with solutions. The full table of contents and preface are available here. Benjamin C. Pierce is Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania. View this page in Romanian (courtesy ofazoft).
'just newbie and this is my first thread. At first i don't know how it goes so i tried to copy and paste. How to do? can i delete this thread? But somehow i've found it useful for all computer programmers out there.
You could have made it better and really useful by letting us know the name of book, a link to it and if you have read it already then whats your opinion on the subject matter. What you have done is roughly considered as Spam, and could earn you some infractions.. I suggest that you edit your post (if you can) and out some useful information, like the name of book and a little synopsis in your own words..
