Welcome to the web site for Design Concepts in Programming Languages, a graduate-level book on programming languages written by Franklyn Turbak and David K. Gifford with Mark Sheldon. The book is based on MIT's graduate programming languages course (6.821). Many people helped in developing parts of the book, especially Trevor Jim, Brian Reistad, and Jonathan Rees.
Here is the table of contents for the current draft of the book. The book is currently being reviewed for publication, and we have been advised to remove links to the draft chapters. For more information about the book, please send email to fturbak@wellesley.edu.
