Programming Languages – Application and Interpretation (2007)

I see why you might link to the page you did since it has some additional information, and even provides a link to the more recent edition, but be aware that this is an old version of PLAI that has been updated as recently as 2012 [0].

Furthermore, the cs173 class at Brown now uses a different book, Programming and Programming Languages [1], that was updated as recently as 2014. It's very much in the same spirit, but uses Pyret instead of plai-typed.

Another thing to note is that cs173 had a MOOC-like online offering in 2012, and the videos are still available [2].

Here's the rationale for writing this book: http://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/sk-tea...

And here's the pdf: http://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs173/2012/book/book.pdf

Looking at the table of contents, I like the ordering of the topics.

Still have this linked. Thought it'd be a fun way to learn Racket.

One of those things I'll get to when I have time, which almost never happens. Always something more directly applicable to learn.
