OPIS:

Ruby Io Prolog Scala Erlang Clojure Haskell. With Seven Languages in Seven Weeks by Bruce A. Tate youll go beyond the syntax-and beyond the 20-minute tutorial youll find someplace online. This book has an audacious goal to present a meaningful exploration of seven languages within a single book. Rather than serve as a complete reference or installation guide Seven Languages hits whats essential and unique about each language. Moreover this approach will help teach you how to grok new languages. For each language youll solve a nontrivial problem using techniques that show off the languages most important features. As the book proceeds youll discover the strengths and weaknesses of the languages while dissecting the process of learning languages quickly--for example finding the typing and programming models decision structures and how you interact with them. Among this group of seven youll explore the most critical programming models of our time. Learn the dynamic typing that makes Ruby Python and Perl so flexible and compelling. Understand the underlying prototype system thats at the heart of JavaScript. See how pattern matching in Prolog shaped the development of Scala and Erlang. Discover how pure functional programming in Haskell is different from the Lisp family of languages including Clojure. Explore the concurrency techniques that are quickly becoming the backbone of a new generation of Internet applications. Find out how to use Erlangs let-it-crash philosophy for building fault-tolerant systems. Understand the actor model that drives concurrency design in Io and Scala. Learn how Clojure uses versioning to solve some of the most difficult concurrency problems. Its all here all in one place. Use the concepts from one language to find creative solutions in another-or discover a language that may become one of your favorites.
