<br>Programming Paradigms for Dummies, by Peter Norvig<br><a href="http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/3465" target="_blank">http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/3465</a><br><br>Here's a portion of the soundbite from the website (where you can<br>
download the PDF):<br><br>"This chapter gives an introduction to all the main programming<br>paradigms, their underlying concepts, and the relationships between<br>them. We give a broad view to help programmers choose the right<br>
concepts they need to solve the problems at hand. We give a taxonomy<br>of almost 30 useful programming paradigms and how they are related.<br>Most of them differ only in one or a few concepts, but this can make a<br>world of difference in programming."<br>
<br>Having skimmed a few pages, I'm not sure I'd say this is your average<br>"Dummies" book, but it appears to provide a bird's eye view of how<br>different languages are geared to solve different kinds of problems.<br>
Might bring the landscape into sharper relief before you settle on<br>that next language.<br><br>HTH!<br><font color="#888888"><br>Serdar<br></font>
