Before a long time, I had taken a course, 'Programming Languages'. It discussed the various feature of programming languages and how it is implmented in a particular language. That could be the most interesting subject considering that I have spent few years in Programming. Unfortuanately much of that learning is lost in learning the syntax of the languages. Now, that I have programmed in various languages, I like to go to the basics again for my understanding.

I like to know "what are the various programming concepts on which various languages have been designed", "Where do they differ" etc. So that, I can undertand or pickup any language based on concepts and pickup implementation of that concept later in my learning easily. I l like to see this in terms of Perl, Python, Java, Javascript and "your favorite language".

Also now that, there are variety of framework for each language, I like to gain similar knowledge as on which concepts these framework are designed. Each frame work could have been designed based on different concepts.

Any references would be useful.

Thanks.
