Course Objective: This is an upper-division undergraduate course on programming language concepts and their realization in specific languages. The objective is the study of how programming languages work. General programming language concepts covered in this course will include data types, scope, control structures, procedural abstraction, classes, concurrency, and run-time implementation. In particular, we emphasize practical experience with these concepts and the different programming languages paradigms through several programming assignments.

Prerequisites: “COMP 410 (121): Data structures” is the official course prerequisite. I will also assume that you are proficient in Java (at the level of “COMP 401 (114): Foundations of Programming”). If you do not have these prerequisites and wish to take the course, please contact me immediately.
