This book identifies, defines and illustrates the fundamental concepts and engineering techniques relevant to applications of software languages in software development. It presents software languages primarily from a software engineering perspective, i.e., it addresses how to parse, analyze, transform, generate, format, and otherwise process software artifacts in different software languages, as they appear in software development. To this end, it covers a wide range of software languages – most notably programming languages, domain-specific languages, modeling languages, exchange formats, and specifically also language definition languages. Further, different languages are leveraged to illustrate software language engineering concepts and techniques. The functional programming language Haskell dominates the book, while the mainstream programming languages Python and Java are additionally used for illustration. By doing this, the book collects and organizes scattered knowledge from software language engineering, focusing on application areas such as software analysis (software reverse engineering), software transformation (software re-engineering), software composition (modularity), and domain-specific languages. It is designed as a textbook for independent study as well as for bachelor’s (advanced level) or master’s university courses in Computer Science. An additional website provides complementary material, for example, lecture slides and videos. This book is a valuable resource for anyone wanting to understand the fundamental concepts and important engineering principles underlying software languages, allowing them to acquire much of the operational intelligence needed for dealing with software languages in software development practice. This is an important skill set for software engineers, as languages are increasingly permeating software development.

""Code Titans: The Global Dominance of Programming Languages"" explores the fascinating world of programming languages that shape our digital landscape. This comprehensive guide delves into the evolution, market dominance, and real-world applications of influential languages like Python, JavaScript, and Java. The book argues that the choice of programming language significantly impacts software development efficiency and problem-solving capabilities across industries. Structured in three parts, ""Code Titans"" begins with fundamental concepts, then profiles widely-used languages, and concludes by examining future trends in programming. What sets this book apart is its holistic approach, viewing languages as living ecosystems influenced by community dynamics and global technological trends. It balances technical depth with clear explanations, making it accessible to both experienced programmers and curious non-technical readers. The book offers unique insights from interviews with language creators and industry leaders, while also exploring interdisciplinary connections between programming languages and fields like cognitive science. Readers will gain practical advice on choosing the right language for specific projects and strategies for managing multi-language software ecosystems. By understanding the strengths and limitations of today's dominant programming languages, readers will be better equipped to navigate the complex world of technology.
Introduction to Programming Languages
In programming courses, using the different syntax of multiple languages, such as C++, Java, PHP, and Python, for the same abstraction often confuses students new to computer science. Introduction to Programming Languages separates programming language concepts from the restraints of multiple language syntax by discussing the concepts at an abstrac
