This course provides an in-depth study of current and historical issues in the design, implementation, and application of programming languages. Topics will vary from basic to advanced in areas such as syntax, semantics, binding, data abstraction, exception handling, concurrency, and functional, logic and object-oriented programming. A modest amount of programming will be required to help you get the feel for different types of languages.
Homework assignments, program assignments, and announcements will be posted at Canvas.
I do not accept late assignments.

Notes & Comments:There is a lot of very interesting material in this course. To grasp a real appreciation of Programming Language Concepts (and to pass this course with a satisfactory grade) will require 110% effort. I hope that you enjoy it.
