Program Overview

CS320: Programming Languages

Overview

The goal of this course is to help students:

• learn new languages quickly,
• evaluate various languages and pick the most suitable one for a given task,
• know when and how to design a little language, and
• understand the effects of languages on thought and communication. We will study programming language concepts, not as paradigms but as a set of basic building blocks, by using the Scala programming language to implement interpreters for the concepts.
