Concurrent Programming ML (CML), included as part of the SML of New Jersey (SML/NJ) distribution, combines the best features of concurrent programming and functional programming. This practical, "how-to" book focuses on the use of concurrency to implement naturally concurrent applications. In addition to a tutorial introduction to programming in CML, the book presents three extended examples using CML for practical systems programming: a parallel software build system, a simple concurrent window manager, and an implementation of distributed tuple spaces. This book also illustrates advanced SML programming techniques, and includes a chapter on the implementation of concurrency using features provided by the SML/NJ system. It will be of interest to programmers, students, and professional researchers working in computer language development.

Buy this book!,
By "bmlushma" (Waterloo, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Concurrent Programming in ML (Hardcover)
This is a book on Concurrent ML by the man who invented it. With so little CML information available on the web, this book has been one of the best investments I've made in years. Reppy starts off with a review of concurrency theory and then illustrates programming in CML through big, real-world examples. Throughout the book, he explains the motivation behind his design decisions. You end up with a clear picture of concurrent programming in a functional language -- concurrent programming in a REAL language like ML ...

Very nice book,
By W. Ghost (Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Concurrent Programming in ML (Paperback)
This book is really good. Everything is absolutely clear, and decisions related to the design of CML itself are explained, as well as how to use the language. Besides, Chapter 2 has the best short (<40 pages) introduction to basic concepts in concurrent programming that I have seen.
