CS 565 is a course on the core aspects of programming languages: semantics, types, control flow, and implementation. Java and Scheme will be the main example languages, in addition to some toy languages. Java is an object-oriented language, and Scheme is a functional language. Emphasis is on concepts and techniques of practical value for the working programmer. The final grade will be determined as follows: The homework assignments will offer opportunities to earn extra credit. In cases where the final grade is on the borderline between A and B, or between B and C, the higher grade will, at the discretion of the professor, be assigned to students who have earned significant extra credit.
