This book contained a lot of information, but it was about as dry as a book can be, and the outside didn't give a clear idea of what the inside was going to cover. "Concepts of Programming Languages" is an absurdly poor title. Can you imagine picking up a book called "Concepts of Math"? What would even be in that? Or "Concepts of Poodles"? There's a reason you haven't seen that last one on the shelves. A title like that is nearly meaningless.

Very well laid out. Easy to read and find information. I still use this as a reference.
I TA'd CS3411 with this book, and it impressed me at the time. Lots of good tidbits. The chapter on denotational semantics is utterly stillborn -- I remember it so incomplete and confusing even after eight years that I mustn't allow more than three dankstars.
Good book, I would say it is introduction to the topic.The only problem I had with this book is author choices of languages. For example he could chose better more modern languages like Go, Rust, ErLang, etc instead of something like Ada.
I love reading stuff like this, it's filled with anecdotes about obscure computer language facts and events, and has interviews with language designers
Sebesta has got an ease pen on this book.introducing new languages come after the complete history of age of languages.
Seemed to cover the content well. I only read the chapters required for class.
