Exploring the profound connection between humanity and the divine, this book emphasizes that our existence is derived from God, the 'I AM.' It highlights the biblical promise of eternal life through faith in Jesus, who embodies resurrection and life. The text reflects on the potential loss of our 'experience to be' and reassures readers of God's unwavering commitment to humanity's salvation. Through scriptural references, it invites readers to confront mortality and embrace the hope offered by belief in Christ.
The book contains an introduction to the Lambda Calculus as the theoretical foundation of all 'Functional Programming' languages. The Lambda Calculus has been created by the American logician Alonzo Church in the 1930's and is documented in his works published in 1941 under the title 'The Calculi of Lambda Conversion'. Alonzo Church wanted to formulate a mathematical logical system and had no intent to create a programming language. The intrinsic relationship of his system to programming was discovered much later in a time in which programming of computers became an issue. The book 'A++ and the Lambda Calculus' also contains a brief introduction to the educational programming language A++, a minimal programming language that has been built with the Lambda Calculus as its foundation. The purpose of A++ is to serve as a learning instrument rather than as a programming language used to solve practical problems. A++ is supposed to be an excellent tool to become familiar with the core of programming and with programming patterns that can be applied in other languages needed to face the real world. A++ is presented in greater detail in the books: 'A++ The Smallest Programming Language in the World' (978-3-7469-3021-3) and in 'Programmieren lernen mit A++' (978-3-7469-3199-9).
A++ -- An Educational Programming Language: A++ has been developed in 2002 in the context of 'Programmierung pur' [Undiluted Programming] (ISBN 3-87820-108-7) with the purpose to serve as a learning instrument rather than as a programming language used to solve practical problems. A++ is supposed to be an efficient tool to become familiar with the core of programming and with programming patterns that can be applied in other languages needed to face the real world. Programming in A++ students learn * that programming problems can be solved using powerful patterns derived from ARS (Abstraction, Reference and Synthesis), patterns that comprise the three major programming paradigms in use today. * Readers also learn that neither the knowledge of the syntax of a programming language nor the familiarity with all the primitive functions of a language implementation makes up the art of programming. This book does not only introduce A++ as a language but also covers its implementation in Perl and C including an introduction to these languages using A++ itself.
