- Course Outline: This course is an introduction to the fascinating field of programming languages. The course will examine design, implementation, and use of high-level programming languages. Topics include: historical background; how languages reflect different design philosophies and user requirements; technical issues in the design of imperative (procedural) programming languages; other approaches to programming: functional programming, logic programming, and object-oriented programming.
- Lectures: T 12:00-1:50 and 12:00-2:50 Th, online (with OJAI 1972 on Tuesdays as needed)
- Textbook: No textbook, but detailed course notes will be provided to students at no cost.
- Grading: 8 assignments worth 5% each; one final assignment worth 10%; two midterms worth 15% each, and a final exam worth 20%.
- How to avoid plagiarism: Each student should work independently on the assignments and tests; verbal discussions of assignments among students are allowed (indeed encouraged), but you should not share code, and you should not leave such discussions with written notes.
- Attendance: Students are encouraged but not required to attend the lectures. The assignments will be posted online. The final exam will be written in class.
