in reply to Any interesting philosophy of programming articles to recommend?

This not a philosopy of progamming article or book. But programming is based on languages (albeit not natural ones) so it is good to have a command of the basic concepts.

So I recommend Programming Languages: Concepts and Constructs, 2nd Ed. Ravi Sethi

He presents the concepts in context by giving examples in different languages. I have the first edition, I don't know what is new in the 2nd one.
