Go for it. You can hardly find a similar book that covers many latest languages/tech.

What a programmer needs before programming languages

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago

I should have written this review years ago except that Internet was not much of a thing when I first read Pratt's book. If I am where I am today as a developer with multiple language skills, it is thanks to Pratt. His approach to introducing languages to a developer is unique - first the concepts followed by how various languages implement the concepts. Wirth's "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" approaches the same subject but from a different angle. I like Pratt's approach. If you want to be in the developer community, this is what you should read BEFORE you lay your hands on any programming book.
