Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Hoare is one of my computer science idols. ... This book was written to commemorate his 75th birthday, and contains the lectures that many of his past and present colleagues presented in honor of this occasion. ... I did glean a great deal of information from the book. ... the book is quite interesting ... . the chapters have some connection to those areas of computing where Hoare has contributed profusely, and hence it is a fitting tribute to this extraordinary computing science visionary." (Sandeep Shukla, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2012)
