5.0 out of 5 stars
Classic reading on software and language design,
By
This review is from: Systems Programming With Modula-3 (Prentice Hall Series in Innovative Technology) (Paperback)
Modula-3 is a little known language, but was highly influential on the design of Java. Although the language itself is of mostly historical interest now, this book is a wonderful introduction to a principled approach to both language and software design. Chapter five on threads is still the classic introduction to the topic. Chapter six is a wonderful case-study in rigorous, object-oriented design. Chapter seven is a great tutorial on building complex, multi-threaded libraries.
If you want to be a serious programmer, you have to read this book. Table of contents: 1. Introduction 2. Language Definition 3. Standard Interfaces 4. An Introduction to Programming with Threads 5. Thread Synchronization: A Formal Specification 6. I/O Streams: Abstract Types, Real Programs 7. Trestle Window System Tutorial 8. How the Language Got its Spots

Great medium-level book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Systems Programming With Modula-3 (Prentice Hall Series in Innovative Technology) (Paperback)
This book is the perfect quick reference book for the more basic aspects of Modula-3, including the language definition and standard interfaces. It also includes good tutorials on Threads, Trestle, etc. for when you want to move further, and a jolly section at the end explaining some of the design decisions underlying Modula-3.
