The second edition of The Icon Programming Language is now available. The second edition describes Version 8 of Icon (the first edition, published in 1983, describes Version 5.9). In addition to describing Version 8, the second edition is completely revised. Important concepts such as generators and string scanning are presented first, allowing subsequent material to be presented in ways more natural to Icon. New material includes a chapter on the details of running Icon programs, more (and harder) exercises, several large sample programs, and an expanded "mini-reference" to Icon's functions and operations. Here's the publication information: The Icon Programming Language, second edition. Ralph E. Griswold and Madge T. Griswold, Prentice Hall, 1990. 367 pages. $29.95. ISBN 0-13-447889-4.
