COMP332: Programming Languages

The study of programming languages is important because of the central role that programming, of one form or another, plays in computing. This unit aims to provide students with a comprehensive view of the features of modern programming languages, and to introduce students to the implementation of these languages. The two aims are pursued in parallel; the syntax and semantics of programming languages are discussed at the same time as the necessary implementation techniques. These lectures are supplemented by practical exercises in language implementation.
