Semantics Engineering with PLT Redex

By Matthias Felleisen, Robert Bruce Findler and Matthew Flatt

This text is the first comprehensive presentation of reduction semantics in one volume; it also introduces the first reliable and easy-to-use tool set for such forms of semantics. Software engineers have long known that automatic tool support is critical for rapid prototyping and modeling, and this book is addressed to the working semantics engineer (graduate student or professional language designer). The book comes with a prototyping tool suite to develop, explore, test, debug, and publish semantic models of programming languages.

How to Design Programs

An Introduction to Programming and Computing
By Matthias Felleisen, Robert Bruce Findler, Matthew Flatt and Shriram Krishnamurthi

This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process. This approach fosters a variety of skills—critical reading, analytical thinking, creative synthesis, and attention to detail—that are important for everyone, not just future computer programmers.
