Types and Programming Languages, written by Benjamin C. Pierce who is a Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania [1] is a computing book on type systems and programming languages. [2] Types and Programming Languages was published in 2002 by MIT Press. [3]

Since its publication, the book has become one of the most widely cited and influential texts in the field of programming language theory. [1] It is frequently used as a graduate-level textbook in computer science programs around the world and has shaped the way type systems are taught in academic curricula [2] . [1]

A review by Frank Pfenning called it "probably the single most important book in the area of programming languages in recent years." [4]
