Description:
The design, implementation, and evolution of programming languages. Language features and their effects upon translation and run-time environments. Languages studied are chosen for their historical and current significance, programming paradigm, and run-time environment. Syntax and semantic specification; formal grammars.
 
Office Hours:
Office Hours (or hour) is set for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, ~6-6:20PM, department office. You can also bring up whatever questions you may have either before or after the class, or on the class forum.

Projects:
There will be several projects to write simple programs using various programming languages, and maybe compiler parts.

Tests:
You will have at least a midterm and a final exam. There might also be a quiz or two.

In This Class:
Peer cooperation is encouraged, however, everyone must submit their own work. You will be expected to answer detailed questions about your assignments/projects. (i.e.: if you didn't write them, I'll know.)

Grading:
Tentative grade breakup: ~25% for Midterm, ~35% for Projects, ~40% Final - These may change slightly depending on how well the class does in any of the above. (also, the "Project" grade includes things like, quizes, homeworks, projects, etc.)
