[Synaps]

The great value of this short book is in being one of its kind: It is the only history of programming languages currently on the shelf. That says something about these plethoric languages developed: fast and far removed from the lay person, who now has a good guide to catch up.

Ihan täyttä paskaa. Huono ja täysin vailla pointtia oleva omakustanne / print on demand / mikä onkaan. Saman saa parempana, syvällisempänä ja ilmaiseksi Wikipediasta. Miksi tämä on edes kirjoitettu, ja miksi tämän erehdyin ostamaan, en tiedä.
