"Seven Languages in Seven Weeks" presents a meaningful exploration of seven languages within a single book. Rather than serve as a complete reference or installation guide, the book hits what's essential and unique about each language.

Seven Languages in Seven Weeks

Does a good job of introducing concepts without dwelling on them too much. You’re expected to research things you don’t understand, then come back to the book. This allows it to be a good book no matter the experience level of the reader

Very approachable, but the exercises are repetitive. (My reading group stopped at Prolog, too irritated to go on.)

Useful for searching through some very different languages, if you're new or aren't sure what you're looking for.
