In type theory (and associated logics) there is a thing called “bottom” _|_, which in languages such as Haskell is rendered as “undefined”. Ask a mathematician or a theoretical computer .. So the question, mostly directed at old timers, is to which resources would you send a friend asking for advice on learning about the theoretical study of programming languages? The machines are not necessary to study the theory. David Harel, Computers Ltd.: What They Really Can't Do (Oxford, 2000). That there is no such scheme/device. Collection of data, going through it, filtering the Computer language is a field of importance. Introductory theoretical computer science is full of proofs that lambda calculus can simulate a Turing machine and vice versa, and a single tape Turing machine can simulate a multi-tape Turing machine etc. Software is the very essence that enables a computer to function. Computer Science, the name, may not make sense, but there's a lot of computer science study you can do without computers. En.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_type. Again it provides a good topic to research. David Evans, Introduction to Computing: Explorations in Language, Logic, and Machines. The student must not only know theoretical descriptions of the subject but also programming and other details related to the subject. Anyone studying computer science will be introduced to the fact that computers use their own language. O Formal Language: A Practical Introduction by Webber, o Introduction to the Theory of Computation by Sipser, o Languages and Machines: An Introduction to the Theory of Computer Science by Sudkamp. The machine without software is useless. Speaking of which, I mentioned it the other day, but I liked Schmidt's Denotational Semantics: A Methodology for Language Development, and the first few chapters could be useful as a general intro to some formal PL topics. This did not take up too much time because I presented alot of it as more examples of regular languages.
