Principles of Programming Languages

Programming languages are one of the most important and direct tools for the construction of a computer system: in a modern computer different languages are routinely used for different levels of abstraction. The programming language is important because it defines the relationship, semantics, and grammar which allows the programmers to effectively communicate with the machines that they program.

The course is aimed at making the student familiar with the general concepts common to all programming languages so as to facilitate learning new languages. Language paradigms (i.e., logic, functional, procedural, object-oriented) are compared and implementation strategies are discussed.
