  4. Course Objectives • Understand concepts in programming languages • Be able to explain common language constructs and features • Be able to explain the subtlety in language features such as scoping, binding, and parameter passing. • Be able to simulate useful features in languages that lack them • Understand the general approach to implement a language. • Be able to write a programming language translator (compiler/interpreter). • Be able to program in procedural, object-oriented, functional, and logical programming languages • Functional programming, logical programming • Ultimate goal: be able, in principle, to design a new programming language

  5. Prerequisites • COP 4530 Data structures • Working knowledge of the UNIX environment • Proficiency in C or C++

  6. Course Material • Lecture notes (posted at the class website) • Textbooks: • Michael Scott, Programming Language Pragmatics, 3rd Edition

  7. Class Grading • Midterm (20%) • Final (30%) • Covers the whole course • Programming projects (25%) • Oral presentation and paper (10%) • Quizzes and homework assignments (15%)

  8. Presentation • Oral • Written (paper) • Must pass (70% or above) the oral and written presentation in order to pass the course • This is a cornerstone requirement from the upper level.

  9. Programming projects • Programming projects (25%) • Language implementation (partial compiler) • Alternative programming • Complete project within due date • 10% penalty each day for up to two days for late submission

  10. Letter grades • A : 94-100% C+: 77-79% D-: 60-62% • A-: 90-93% C: 73-76% F: 0-59% • B+: 87-89% C-: 70-72% • B: 83-86% D+: 67-69% • B-: 80-82% D: 63-66% To get C- or above, you must have a C- for the project and the combined grade.

  11. Computer Accounts • Computer science account • Various tools • SSH, E-mail, text editor, g++, make • All programming assignments should be done on the CS servers (linprog). • FSU account • Receiving class emails • Please communicate with the instructor and the TA using a fsu account (cs or FSU). Emails from outside fsu (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc) may be ignored (or filtered).

  13. Academic honor policy • Read the student handbook • All violations will be processed by the university • Step 1 penalty: 0 grade for the particular homework/project/exam AND 1 letter grade downgrade for the final course letter grade (e.g. B->C).

  14. Your Responsibilities • Understand lecture and reading materials • Attend office hours for extra help, as needed • Uphold academic honesty • Turn in your assignments on time • Check class Web page and your email account and regularly

  15. Dos and Don’ts • Do share debugging experiences • Do share knowledge of tools • Do acknowledge help from others • Do acknowledge sources of information from books and web pages

  16. Dos and Don’ts • Don’t cheat • Don’t copy code from others • Don’t paraphrase code from others either • E.g., changing variable names & indentations • Don’t leak your code to any place • There is no difference in terms of penalty between copying and being copied. • All honor code violation will be resolved through the Office of the Dean and the Faculties. • Zero for the particular assignment/exam AND one letter grade deduction for the level 1 agreement (first violation).
