| Overview and Syllabus |
The goal of this course is to give students a basic understanding of the essential concepts of programming languages. We take a hands-on approach, using the language Scheme to implement a sequence of interpreters as a means of exploring the design choices that differentiate one language from another.

Due dates, exam announcements, room changes, etc.
There is no substitute for attending and particpating in the
lectures,
and we won't attempt to provide a complete replay of the class
session.
We will find it useful, however, to have some record of what was
discussed
in class.
