Lambda the Ultimate

[Folks, This came across the CODE4LIB email list, along with a "feel free to share" not. LTU came to mind immediately. FYI, ALA is the American Library Association - they published a book of mine maybe 15 years ago, and they were great folks to work with. It's been a while, but the guy who as my acquisitions editor is now their Sr. Editor - so I expect their still good to work with.]

This is a call for book chapters for A Librarian’s Introduction to
Programming Languages to be published by ALA/Neal-Schuman Publishing.

This book will look at a variety of programming languages with the intent
to familiarize readers with the reasons for using each language. The book
will cover practical, real world examples to illustrate how a specific
language can be used to enhance library services and resources.

The target audience includes current practitioners, administrators,
educators, and students.

Some potential topics to be included in the book are below.

● Basic
● C#
● Java
● Javascript
● Perl
● Python
● Ruby

We are also interested in other topics. For more information email the
