(** We've covered quite a bit of ground so far. Here's a quick review...
|
|
|
|
- _Functional programming_:
|
|
- "declarative" programming style (recursion over immutable
|
|
data structures, rather than looping over mutable arrays
|
|
or pointer structures)
|
|
- higher-order functions
|
|
- polymorphism *)
|
|
|
|
(**
|
|
- _Logic_, the mathematical basis for software engineering:
|
|
|
|
logic calculus
|
|
-------------------- ~ ----------------------------
|
|
software engineering mechanical/civil engineering
|
|
|
|
- inductively defined sets and relations
|
|
- inductive proofs
|
|
- proof objects *)
|
|
|
|
(**
|
|
- _Coq_, an industrial-strength proof assistant
|
|
- functional core language
|
|
- core tactics
|
|
- automation

(** * Looking Forward *)
|
|
|
|
(** If what you've seen so far has whetted your interest, you have two
|
|
choices for further reading in the _Software Foundations_ series:
|
|
|
|
- _Programming Language Foundations_ (volume 2, by a set of
|
|
authors similar to this book's) covers material that
|
|
might be found in a graduate course on the theory of
|
|
programming languages, including Hoare logic, operational
|
|
semantics, and type systems.
|
|
|
|
- _Verified Functional Algorithms_ (volume 3, by Andrew
|
|
Appel) builds on the themes of functional programming and
|
|
program verification in Coq, addressing a range of topics
|
|
that might be found in a standard data structures course,
|
|
with an eye to formal verification. *)

|
(** Here are some other good places to learn more...
|
|
|
|
- This book includes some optional chapters covering topics
|
|
that you may find useful. Take a look at the table of contents and the chapter dependency diagram to find
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
- For questions about Coq, the [#coq] area of Stack
|
|
Overflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/coq)
|
|
is an excellent community resource.
|
|
|
|
- Here are some great books on functional programming
|
|
- Learn You a Haskell for Great Good, by Miran Lipovaca
|
|
[Lipovaca 2011] (in Bib.v).
|
|
- Real World Haskell, by Bryan O'Sullivan, John Goerzen,
|
|
and Don Stewart [O'Sullivan 2008] (in Bib.v)
|
|
- ...and many other excellent books on Haskell, OCaml,
|
|
Scheme, Racket, Scala, F sharp, etc., etc.
|
|
|
|
- And some further resources for Coq:
|
|
- Certified Programming with Dependent Types, by Adam
|
|
Chlipala [Chlipala 2013] (in Bib.v).
|
|
- Interactive Theorem Proving and Program Development:
|
|
Coq'Art: The Calculus of Inductive Constructions, by Yves
|
|
Bertot and Pierre Casteran [Bertot 2004] (in Bib.v).
|
|
|
|
- If you're interested in real-world applications of formal
|
|
verification to critical software, see the Postscript chapter
|
|
of _Programming Language Foundations_.
|
|
|
|
- For applications of Coq in building verified systems, the
|
|
lectures and course materials for the 2017 DeepSpec Summer
|
|
School are a great resource.
