CSCE 314: Programming LanguagesSpring 2014 Peer Teachers • PTs’ office hours are all held in Room 129 HRBB) • Mr. Steven Bierwagen (sbierwagen@neo.tamu.edu) M 12noon - 1:00pm, R 9:00-11:00am, F 4:00-5:00pm • Mr. Nathan De Jong (njdj1013@tamu.edu) MF 10:30 am - 12:30pm, TR 2:00-4:00pm, W 3:00-4:00p • Mr. Taylor Hunt (thehuntclub@neo.tamu.edu) T 9:35-10:50am and 12:30-1:15pm, F 11:30am - 1:30pm • Ms. Kira Jones (kmystic524@neo.tamu.edu) MW 12:30-1:30pm

  4. CSCE 314: Programming Languages • Course Homepage http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/hlee/csce314/ • Textbooks • Programming in Haskell, Graham Hutton, Cambridge University Press • The Java Programming Language, 4th Ed, Ken Arnold, James Gosling, and David Holmes, Addison- Wesley Professional • Other Reading Material: See the course homepage

  5. CSCE 314: Programming Languages • Prerequisites: • CSCE 221 • CSCE 222 • Familiarity with recursion • Familiarity with complexity analysis • Eager to learn (Enthusiasm) • Perseverance • Positive, constructive thinking • …

  6. Motivations • Ever increasing complexity and the size of modern computer programs • Ever increasing time and cost of program development • Ever increasing requirements on the correctness of the programs • Ever increasing need for a better programmer who learns new languages easily!

  7. Course Objectives (1) Understand the fundamental concepts of the programming languages: • Broader understanding of language constructs, common abstraction mechanisms, and efficiency consideration • Understanding of the basics of how programs written in high-level programming languages are executed, i.e., parsing, internal program representation, type checking, interpretation

  8. Course Objectives (2) Understand the fundamental concepts of the programming languages: • Encourage the use of formal verification • Effective use of the functional programming approach to design and implement programs • Understanding of the main features of modern object-oriented languages

  9. Course Outline (1) • Language Processing • Grammars, lexing and parsing • Abstract syntax, internal representations • Types and type checking • Interpretation • Basics of an implementation of a simple programming language

  10. Course Outline (2) • Study of a Functional Language - Haskell • Type inference • Parametric polymorphism • Higher-order functions • Algebraic data types • Abstract data types and modules • Type classes • Effects in a “pure” language

  11. Course Outline (3) • Study of an Object-Oriented Language - Java • Subtyping and inheritance, subtype polymorphism • Exception handling • Generics, wildcards • Reflection • Concurrency

  12. Grading • Homework and Project: 30% • Midterm Examination: 30% • Final Examination: 30% • Quizzes and Exercises: 10%

  13. Assignments and Submission • Homework will be assigned on approx. bi-weekly • Turn in all work on csnet before the deadline • There will be a mix of individual and team assignments, which will include programming exercises, essay-style problems, and problems from the textbook. Whether it will be done individually or in a team will be specified in each assignment. It is extremely important to read the assignment statements carefully!

  14. Assignments (Cont.) • Late turn-in will have penalty @25% every 24 hours • Genuine difficulties must be discussed with Instructor before the deadline • Never cut classes to do your homework • Some class time will be devoted to hands-on learning (exercises, help with homework, etc.)

  15. Earning grade in this course • Planning to get an “A” grade? Attend all classes, pay attention in the class, do exercises, do assignments, read book and reading material, participate in the class • How to get grade “D”? Miss classes, do not pay attention in the class, do not do assignments, do not read reading materials

  16. Summary • Read syllabus on how to conduct in the course • We will study fundamentals of programming languages by way of learning two languages - Haskell and Java • A lot of “fun” work in the class • Happy learning!!
