Yes, It's rare to see books about programming concepts/models and not programming languages.
As far as I know the following 3 ones deserve being mentioned : * OOSC: Object Oriented Software Construction ( general about object orientation, see http://archive.eiffel.com/doc/oosc/page.html ) * SICP: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs ( general, see http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html ) * and now CTMCP: Concepts, Techniques and Models of computer programming ( covering all programming concepts/models, aka functional, imperative, object oriented, data flow, ... : see http://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/book.htm ) I haven't yet finished CTMCP, but I hope it will help me move from the "I know one programming model (e.g. either object oriented, either functional, ...) / I switch from one programming model to another, and I systematically consider the new one as a best fit for any job" attitude to "I now have knowledge to choose the right tool (programming model) for the job at hand (software to build)". Hopefully, clojure seems multi-paradigms enough to be able to stay within the same language while switching from one paradigm to another depending on the subsystems or parts of subsystems to implement ! That also, is for me a big strenght of clojure compared to e.g. java. Regards, -- Laurent 2009/6/5 Daniel Jomphe <danieljom...@gmail.com>: > > I support the CTMCP recommendation.
