Preface
The study of type systems�and of programming languages from a type-theoretic perspective�has become an energetic field with major applications in software engineering, language design, high-performance compiler implementation, and security. This text offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental definitions, results, and techniques in the area.
Audience
The book addresses two main audiences: graduate students and researchers specializing in programming languages and type theory, and graduate students and mature undergraduates from all areas of computer science who want an introduction to key concepts in the theory of programming languages. For the former group, the book supplies a thorough tour of the field, with sufficient depth to proceed directly to the research literature. For the latter, it provides extensive introductory material and a wealth of examples, exercises, and case studies. It can serve as the main text for both introductory graduate-level courses and advanced seminars in programming languages.
