Hi, anyone can advice me any GOOD and DEEP articles on the web about binding? thanks

What "binding" do you have on mind exactly?

[mickey]

The binding of a program element to a particular characteristic or property is the choice of the property from a set of possible properties.
There are many classes of bindings in programming languages as well as many different binding times.
binding times are the properties of program elements that are determined by the definition of the language or its implementation.

And in plain english?

I think jaceks question was not answered with this, just made his question more obvious:
Which *element* you want to bind to which *particular characteristic or property* (out of what *set of possible properties*).
As the text you posted says: *There are many classes of bindings* - so which one is your question about?

that's the explain of binding I don't understand! Do anyone know a paper that explain what is binding? I can't say you what binding, because I don't know what it mean and what they are. I refer language programming in general (if there is variant for any languages, then binding for C, C++, Java, C#)
Thanks

But binding is a general word and refers to different things, even with programming. You have to state which you have in mind. It is possible you meant function binding and Sunil provided you with a link about it. But it is also possible you mean something completely different...

how many other binding are there in programming (beyond function binding)? thanks

You can bind methods, names, parameters, storage, symbols, values, types, ...

According to that definition, binding is assigning a property to something.
