Summary:

A++ has been developed in 2002 in the context of 'Programmierung pur' [Undiluted Programming] (ISBN 3-87820-108-7) with the purpose to serve as a learning instrument rather than as a programming language used to solve practical problems. A++ is supposed to be an efficient tool to become familiar with the core of programming and with programming patterns that can be applied in other languages needed to face the real world.

Programming in A++ students learn

that programming problems can be solved using powerful patterns derived from ARS (Abstraction, Reference and Synthesis), patterns that comprise the three major programming paradigms in use today.
Readers also learn that neither the knowledge of the syntax of a programming language nor the familiarity with all the primitive functions of a language implementation makes up the art of programming.

This book does not only introduce A++ as a language but also covers its implementation in Perl and C including an introduction to these languages using A++ itself.
